I'm the band

About Me


I've once again added the songs from A Tropical Depression to the myspace music player above so that you can hear the full songs before buying them. All profits from the sale of the four songs from A Tropical Depression will go to the American Red Cross. They are the "Featured Songs" below.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/15/2005
Band Website: gymshoesmusic.com
Band Members: Who am I?? Gymshoes is one person. I'm the band. All the music here is digital and loop-based. For more music check out my Gymshoes site. There you'll find a lot more music, album art, wallpaper, my regular blog, Amp'd Up , and a lot of other stuff like why I'm "Gymshoes". ;-). My former band was Undead Monkey , and you can still become a Friend of the Undead on myspace .

So, what am I doing here?? This site is a way of raising my profile online so that more people will hear my music. I will update songs here and occasionally post blog entries here letting you know what's going on my real website. :-) I will also post Bulletins letting myspace Friends know when there is something new out.

Things To Do You can subscribe to the RSS feed for my real blog, Amp'd Up , on my site. leave comments, etc. Or you can sign up for the News From Gymshoes newsletter here or on my website. Concerned about privacy? Me, too! Read my Privacy Policy !

You can chat with me right here (if I'm online) using the MeeboMe IM widget below. If I'm not online, you can use MeeboMe to leave me a message. The IM and message operate independently of myspace.

I also have some Gymshoes merch, Fun Stuff For Friends And Fans, if you want stickers, tees, etc.

Influences: I don't know how I'm influenced by the bands I love or even who all my influences are. I don't hear specific influences in my pop-rock oriented music; either my influences have combined in a unique and unrecognizable way or I'm influenced by sources I scarcely recall---or both. With the electronica, I'm sometimes making music of a type I listen to only occasionally. Brain Eno, Bill Laswell, moby have all played a part in my musical direction.
