My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 13/02/2007
Band Members: Cast in order of appearence...

Michael Gross .... co-founding member...
Now living in Medical Lake Wa.
(using this page as a Personal and Band page)

Mark Wilde ....... co-founding member and a talent greatly missed...
Mark has been on his unearthly voyage for 20 years now...

Bill Mutschler .... Light and Image design... Created a visual icon for the band...
Bill has a musical itch (amonst others) to boot...

Mike Simmons ... A fellow synthoid that made the band a trio...
His impressive music fit the band like a glove ...

Steve Fritz ........ Band manager and man about town...
Publisher of merit... His Terminal! music mag led the 80's...

Chip "Dish" Marcoccia ... DJ, sound system guru and dance club insider....
Chip's golden ears helped polish sound production and mix...

Jerry Dean ....... A musical talent added as a "hired gun" for live shows...
Jerry's irresistible good nature and musical input became addictive...

Mark Pricskett ...... A musical novice became a second "hired gun"...
This brought the 1986 band version to a quartet...
Mark changed his name to Max and became a music legend...

In 1989 I found vocalists, Michael Keith... a bigger P.Gabriel fan than me...
and... Ilene Jacobs who was an amazing vocal talent and put a live act together...
Music files from this period may show up on the groups media palyer...



Influences:

Pop to Experimental...
Minimal to Hi-NRG...
