About Me

Recent News! January 2008 - I'm lead guitarist for Sam Bybee 's new CD, 8 am.. Listen to 2 songs from it, here, I think you'll dig it! Look for us playing all over San Diego
...maybe other places too?
Recorded at Sven-Erik Seaholm's Kitsch & Sync studio.
Sam's songs are great, and working with Sven is a dream!
For some reason Sam hasn't put credits on his page...so I'll put up what I know:
Sam Bybee - Vocals, Beats, Loops, Guitar, Keyboards and stuff.
David Ryan Norgren - Rap, Rhyme and some funky sh**!
Erdis Maxhelaku - Shredding Cellist
Moi, "Doktor" Dave Sawyer - Lead Guitar
Sven-Erik Seaholm - Producer and sundry noises and such. Aug. 2007 - I joined The Bigfellas and we played NBC 7/39's Streetside San Diego show and KPRI's Concerts On The Square (same day, same place...)
