About Me

Myspace Custom Layout by Jaenne at Jaenne.com ..
BYPASSING OBLIVION is James Cundiff on guitar, Matt Parra on bass, Leigh Taylor on drums and guitar, Tina Diggs on Vocals , and introducing our newest member Brandon Diggs on drums/percussion.Brandon will spell Leigh on drums... when Leigh is not available for shows, Brandon will sit in the chair, with no drop off of talent, though. Brandon has awesome chops! When Leigh is available for shows, Brandon will sit on drums, with Leigh playing guitar and doing vocals. We have a CD Named "CORRIDORS" at all 5 Dimple Records locations. Also at "The Beat" Records down on J Street.We are looking forward to getting back out in the scene that is Sacramento music and playing is what we do best! We have been called by Rachael Bogert of UC Davis' Aggie Newspaper "Sacramento's answer to Flogging Molly with their raucous sound," and Mark Gilmore of 98ROCK says, "Bypassing Oblivion sounds like an Irish Pub band. Their energy makes you want to get up an dance. 'Lady in White' is a great song!"We will play with anyone, anywhere, anytime in any order. Call us at 916 - 212 - 0809 or contact us at myspace.com/bypassingoblivionroxhard
