About Me

One day it became apparent that my band situation just wasn't working out. I took a few of the songs that I wrote with The Ideal Husbands, then wrote a few more, and endevoured to record them on my own. After procuring a bass and a drum kit, and gathering up some vocally-talented friends, I got to work on my first ep, entitled "Hi-Lo". It took a few tries to get the sound right, but it came out pretty good. Update: I'm currently writing a new batch of songs, with the intention of recording a full-length LP in Summer 2007. I have also dropped the title Sometimes I Wonder, and decided to record under a name that hopefully nobody else will think to steal... the one I was born with.
