About Me

Born from an idea in late 1997, before I knew how to play anything. Now, I have to play everything. Everything is recorded and mixed in a tiny room - a very tiny room. five dollar day

WATCH THE VIDEO FOR The Elephant Rides Again what a nice review of Shine Like Justice: Splendid Magazine
"brilliant music."
"interesting and relevant."
"makes gratifying use of dynamics, becoming intimate or blaring seemingly on a whim."
"a rolling meadow of sound" a review of Shine Like Justice all the way from Belgium: Derives
"Shining, narcotic, transcendent, brilliant."
"The American indie scene delivers us...one of its geniuses" what nice fellas for reviewing Black Bears: Stylus Magazine
"this latest album was only circulated to a handful of review sites and magazines; thank god Stylus was on the list."
Keep Your Elbows Sharp has not been submitted to any review site. Will you recommend one? I promise to write and record more in the second half of 2007. I have yet to do anything since September 2006. Life is hard.
