Mind Trick

About Me

To further the old adage that good things come in threes, one could say...It is here we must acknowledge the elements that each member brings to the sonic brew, the musical collective that is Mindtrick. The ebb and flow of said ingredients will clarify and bedazzle, simultaneously; the marriage of simple and complex, of agony and ecstasy, of the logical and the insane, is the method to the madness that prevails with those at large...
Mike is the guitarist, primary vocalist and also takes command as the principle songwriter. A student of guitarist extraordinaire KC's own Jeff Scheetz, Mike is both a student of guitar and a musical stylist. An ability to pair gripping lyrics with brillant guitarwork helped his previous band, Funkyard, rock the clubs of Kansas City, and finds a new purpose and prosperity with Mindtrick.
As bassist and backing vocalist for erstwhile KC band, The Sound and the Fury, Jay was a multitasking machine unto himself. As secondary vocalist for Mindtrick, he augments his thunderous basslines with choirboy vocal harmonies, as well as the occasional lead singer spot. Also a guitarist and a functional keyboard player, Jay has contributed to the band with some of his own songs.
Together the members of Mindtrick are a force to be reckoned with. Guaranteed to move and excite any crowd, they hint an era in heavy music long gone and a promise of a new age yet to come. Mindtrick, the band and the live experience, will fit into any heavy rock environment, and can easily justify the price of admission. Come out and experience the Mindtrick for yourself.
