DieKeiretsu ready - Redefine our tribal lines

About Me

I'm a Bass player in a NorthEast based band called DieKeiretsu. Music is my greatest passion in life and like everyone engaged in such pursuits I dream of a day when I can trade the 9-5 money monkey side of my life for one filled with creativity and new experiences.DieKeiretsu was formed late 2004 when the band I was previously with (Release) merged with the "deadbeatpoets". The result is a group of like-minded individual's mixing ideas, influences and styles to create the music we always daydreamed about.www.diekeiretsu.com

I do what I can. Dream to evolve. Keep my demons far away enough to keep me sane, but close enough to comfort me.

My Interests

Music, Art, Film, Gaming, Snowboarding, Rock Climbing, Airsoft, and whatever else keeps me amused and distracted from the "save all your money till you're to old to enjoy it and die" rat race that is modern society.Being a geek at heart I can often be found on Xboxlive Gamertag: DOOBIVOOS
