First off, if you're trying to get me to accept a friend request from some kid sitting in jail who killed his parents or some guy who rolled a car while he was drunk and killed his best friend you can look somewhere else. I don't want one more West Memphis Three type friend thank you. But get attorney money from someone who believes their BS. Hey, if you know me then lucky you! If not then well, maybe you're just as lucky! I'm partly insane(self diagnosis) and i'm not really concerned whether anyone knows that or not. I've been a musician since i was 15. I grew up in a totally normal typical middle class home/family in Louisville. Have 2 sisters and a brother that are all older than me. So I guess that makes me the baby of the family, huh? I like to fancy that i have above average intelligence and rationality even though i graduated from one of the worst high schools in America in regards to high violence, high dropout rates and basic overall insanity. Spent my time after high school just hanging with my friends and dreaming of being a Rock God someday. But eventually my friends started getting married, moving away, or just disappearing. So i got a job that got me closer to what i loved and just lived a boring existence for a few years. During which I played in many bands to minimal results. Eventually joining a traveling band called What Ever Will I learned pretty much everything i would ever need to know about bands, music, people, relationships, hauling capacities, strategic trailer tetris, sleeping in queen size beds with guys who have crabs, truck stop cooking, bad over night snack choices, differences in condoms and the art of conning women out of their clothes...Even if they didn't really want to. When that was over I spent time with my wife and her kids until it went down the tubes. Then I joined a band called Outspoken and within 3 weeks we had traveled to New York to try our Kentucky hands at something we thought we wanted! The elusive record deal. Well, within 5 months we put our shaky John Hancocks on the dotted line and went on the roller coaster known as Corporate Rock. After recording a great record in Seattle with Rick Parashar @ London Bridge Studio we spent the next year playing until it eventually was released in February of 2003 to fanfare that resembled a Hooters fart in the apartment above you. We toured and eventually the money ran out from the Pimp(lava/atlantic)and we were now sitting like a warm beer with one last spit drink left. During this time I remarried. Eventually after we sat on our own shelves for almost 8 months we broke up. Everyone did different things. I went back to work fulltime and the real world was staring at me again...Dreamed of putting another band back together that would be the band i always wanted to be in. Leading up to the end of 2004 we made small efforts to make it happen. While at the same time as the new year sprung I once again divorced! So as that ugliness unfolded I put my energy at getting this thing off the ground. Eventually everyone we wanted was on board and we've spent the past year working our brains out recording, playing live, traveling, writing and trying to keep our ridiculous lives together! We are Ugly http://myspace.com/uglyamericaI live simply. I drive a truck. I think too much. I drink too much. I miss waking up with the same woman every morning. I sleep on a king size bed. I love to be heard AND listened to. I miss my dogs and cats. I wish the world wasn't so heavy sometimes. I like to hope that the glass is half full. But am fully aware deep down that very soon it could be half empty...or worse. And lastly sometimes when things are insane and i make silly choices or second guess myself i just say one sentence to myself over and over..."It's better to regret something you did, than something you didn't do."
