About Me

Jim Bachmann and the schizophrenics is one man's homemade musical creation. The result of a lifetime spent following what leads him musically, the product is something that doesn't dwell comfortably within the cozy confines of one particular genre and doesnt stay within one for too long before its on to the next source of inspiration and off to scratch the latest musical itch.
The latest batch of sonic morsels straddles the lines of country blues, old honky-tonk, and mid-70's acid rock with a little bit of trem mixed in for good measure.
there have been some friends to the schizophrenics that have graciously lent their services to the cause, and they are as follows:
mike lopez ~ drums, bringer of thunder
buckshot george ~ bass, musical guru
brad muller ~ guitfiddling, ass kicking, slangin' that cream
greg muller ~ drums, recording devices, master of the microphone
mitch freedom ~ bass, cello, musical wizardy
danny godbold ~ wurlitzer, spiritual guidance
tyler grisham ~ guitars, cadillacs, and strong islands
tommy collins ~ slappin' the upright bass like it owes him money
john rickard ~ pedal steel, twangin' and bangin'
ryan foresman ~ bass
jake stoddard ~ artistic wizardry
peace
