About Me

To make a short story even shorter we started in 2003 with an all Asian line up, but for some reason in January 2005 I joined the band (i play bass, poorly) and now we have a multinational line up.Our singer/guitarist Wu Ke Jia (Wu being his last name, because last names come first in most Asian countries) likes all kinds of music. Mostly blues and hard rock, reggae, as well traditional Indian and Chinese music. Gao Bo, our drummer like everything basically! And because I am writing this and I am full of myself I will spend the most time on me, because thats the way it should be. I like punk, ska , blues jazz.and rock, but not as much as Wu Ke Jia likes it. That was quite short. Maybe its better that way.We love to jam as a band. During our sets we may have 2 or 3 songs made up on the spot. We are trying to make it big. We have a original sound, interesting line up and are all hard working people. Wu and I are both bilingual and we both can play drums, bass and guitar. In fact Wu used to be the drummer for a sideproject of mine during the summer of 2004. and I play everything (but not all the time!) in a side project in michigan as well. Gao Bo used to play drums for a big pop star in China and was in her music video.Gao Bo just hangs out most of the time here in Beijing, Wu Ke Jia is currently a busy college student studying journalism and I am working in an international school in Beijing. We all love what we do, but all love music above all.We have played in backyards, underground, in the rain, 3 shows a day and usually with poor equipment. Even though the 3 of us are all easygoing, we are all hard working and dedicated at the same time.Jeph 7-7-05 (edited 9-21-06, its about time!) I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1
