About Me

HELP SUPPORT LIVE LOCAL MUSIC

Well... about me huh... I hate these things... Let's see... I work my ass off like all the time (that's right... no ass!) Between running my businesses, working my day job and trying to make something of myself in the music industry, I pretty much have cut out rest all together. I am a dog person, a car enthusiast, a pool player, a gym rat and an all around fairly motivated individual.

I am pretty solid with my friends, and very picky in choosing them.

Music is quickly consuming any and all time I have. It used to just be a pastime... now I want it to be a profession. Although I wish to make money from it, I don't ever want to make money the reason for doing it.

I have met sooooooooooooooo many cool people here on MySpace. I have supported some amazing rising stars between attending their shows and buying their albums. I feel that if the chance ever arises that I release music or travel doing shows that the gesture and support will be returned. In the mean-time I get to see and hear some fantastic musicians!!!

Lately I have learned a lot about myself and where I want to be - it's great because I now have a purpose for everything I am doing right now.

I miss being with friends - just hangin out... one day soon I will be able to do that again at my convenience. Alex in Van; Jaimie in Vegas; Jeromy here in Calgary; Mom in Belize... I will see you all soon .......... Hey... don't forget to check out my guitar players Myspace site too... www.myspace.com/nicklopardo

Why do we do it?

Let me start this off with a very breif history..  I recently met someone who I could actually consider to be more than just a friend.  I guess to understand the magnitude of such a simple ...
