About Me

I'm a musician that has worked with alot of great players/performance artist in and around the San Antonio/Austin area. I started out influenced by Rock and most all of it's sub-genre's.The first band my homeboy and I started was called The Jilted (1990/91-1998) which morphed into Skullcap. Influenced by the music of the day we started to play Thrash/Punk, we would play mostly back yard parties for gangstas and crusty punks. In 1991/92 I started to work with Randy Miller from California who had years of experience working with So. Cal punk bands.At 19 I had my first professional gig at the Back Room in Austin. Those were the day's and I was into playing alot, so I worked with The Perturbed, Deterrent and Skullcap. Some other crazies I can't think of right now but with whoever was willing to create music. By 1999 I was reevaluating my situation as a Rock musician and was kinda of burnt on playing in a band.As a result I started to freelance and I would just set up my kit to jam with anyone who walked in the door at Taco~Land and would frequent blues jam sessions anytime I could and told myself not to commit to any band situations. I would help start local bands like Shock Puppet in 2001, all these incarnations of revolving local musicians...it was fun. In 2002-03 I played with Solo Vino, 2005-06 Luis Arizpe and the truth. In 2006 I returned to James Perez y Karnival for a short stint, all great learning experiences.As for now I play in Blanco (indie pop rock), Hounds of Freeg (free fusion) and SSR (Sixth Son Rising). I like to freelance and will play with anyone who is needing a drummer for a gig, a jam and studio sessions, which I really enjoy doing.You have been marked on my profile map!

Sounds Like: We survive as a power duo by nature, some would say freak of nature, we have no quarrel with that assertion. While entertaining the idea of adding guest musician's, are core sound invariably hinges on the roughshod-energy of live interplay. For now we are in a studio/garage type incarnation. Creating improvised soundtrack music and original scores. We would just assume to jam an improvised piece and let the divine chaos of raw blues, jazz and with a hideous grizzle rock tone.Note: feedback is your only true friend the urgency of noise, and throw back recording techniques, such as bleed through and live two track and even one mic to capture everything no excuses. Besides this is where the pure and hidden honesty of a musician resides. It is for the most part an untamable outburst of creativity.Tone-wise, the guitar playing is a throwback to flesh on nickel dynamics, mixed with stomp box treachery and advance harmonic voicings. You hear the coolness of Jeff Beck's "Wired" and the belligerence of Mahavishnu (circa 72'). Instead of crafting laborious solos. The guitarist defers to the trashy-gone-sluty economy of Punk. Percussive wise it's a shimmering alchemy of Train era drumming, mixed in a Krupa gone Texas funk soup. All in all: "It's that been dormant too long" post nuclear swing, knocking on the dry 22" ride cymbal door.
