About Me

attention bands

I will no longer be accepting band add requests. There are just entirely too many shitty bands who blankly send out requests, then i take the time to listen, they sound like shit, and they didn't even take the time to send a message... If you want me to listen to your band, send a message and I will GLADLY listen, and if i like it, I will send YOU a request. If i have to get another add request from a shit "post-punk/emo/post-hardcore/powerpop/alterna-pop" band, i will hang myself..... Thank you for understanding (and if you don't understand, tough shit!) :)
Music is my blood, and my drums are my heart. I will play music at any time in any place. I like most styles of music, if not parts of all. I'm also a total computer geek.... but whatever, we can't all be perfect!.....
I am completely NOT trendy ... I wear shitty clothes that I've owned for years and are comfortable .... I don't follow trends or fashion too much and I'm usually completely oblivious to style .... I do my own thing most of the time, and don't really have time to do much other than work on music as I spend a majority of my time in my studio. My life consists of waking up, going to work, going from work directly to the studio, and then going home to sleep and start all over again the next day.
Go listen to my band .... I think we're really good and I love listening to and playing our music. www.myspace.com/seer Let me know what you think. I am always looking for any kind of feedback. Join our mailing list too :) Listen to my other band too, Diana Behlke and the band I sat in w/ to help out and rock: Come Out Fighting !
COME OUT FIGHTING: Raise 'Em Up!

My Interests

Drums, Music, Intelligent People, Science Fiction / Occult stuff (UFO's, Ghosts, Time Travel, Psychokinesis, etc...), Spacing Out, Nudity, SLEEPING!!!! I love it when I wash my hands when they're really dirty and i can see the brownish/blackish soap suds falling into the sink.

I'd like to meet:

I seem to get along best with people of questionable sanity... Guess it's that whole "takes one to know one" vibe.... though it would be great to meet Publicity/PR/Mangement/Booking agents/Radio DJs/any people in the music industry, as this is my passion and my hobby and my life :)
