About Me

one man band on tour.
mammoths are extinct. manduo is gonna have a reunion. i try to make music all the time. sometimes i get lucky and succeed. usually, i never get around to finishing things i start doing. i try really hard and i have several vices. other than what you hear here, i am an unpaid intern at electrical audio. i still have to degrade myself in front of yuppies for a paycheck. i'm really picky about acoustics and mic placement. i also enjoy a roomy drum sound and a fast station wagon. if you are here to listen and enjoy the music, thank you for doing so. if you'd like some of it on a cd, please contact me. since the internet is somewhat of a public place, please don't waste my space and yr time on this page flyering for yr band who i've never heard of and don't care about, or yr crazy internet pyramid scheme. also, please do not post belle and sebastian lyrics on my profile. thank you.

"hello...too experimental at times for this venue :)"

"Hey Jeff, This is Ty from Hurricane Alley in Las Cruces, NM. Thanks for your interest in playing here, but the entertainment here is much much more mainstream than what you're doing. Again, thanks for your interest. Ty"

"jeff, to be honest the turnout would not be good as we have a large hardcore/metal base in Modesto. but I have included some venues/clubs/coffe houses who may be able to help.God bless, JOker"
