About Me

My name is Gaines, I've been a writing musician for nearly 11 years now. I've written and played music with several bands and I am currently in two (Susan's On The Stairs and one that has yet to be named). For a long time now, I've been writing music that doesn't really fit the style of these bands. A large portion of this music is very strange and experimental stuff that I have done in my spare time.Keep in mind that these are all rough cuts. I did the best that i could for recording in a basement. There will be several more songs in the future and I will either post a bulletin or notify people through comments. I hope you guys enjoy!z? (no sleep) was written by thomas warren and played in our band omit.rearrange. i play guitar on that song.
