Hello ~ for those that don't know me, I'm George Bowe Blitch. I'm an energetic guy that enjoys being involved in a variety of projects. By day, I work in the field of finance. While I'm not doing that, you'll find me working on further developing my companies, Son of a Blitch Productions and HYT Publishing . SOB is primarily a video company, though we offer a variety of multimedia work for hire. HYT Publishing started when former National Geographic writer, Harvey Arden, and I began working on the book “Have You Thought of Leonard Peltier Lately?†which we published in the fall of 2004. Our second book, White Buffalo Teachings, has been out since last summer and we just finished our third book by a Seneca Elder named Edna Gordon, which won the USA Best Books 2007 Award in the Native American Studies category. Our website features a preview of the books, if you'd like to check them out.
One of my biggest passions in life is music. I love performing with my band Dead P.A. We were a two man group for many years, just Jason Walsh and myself. In the last two years, Krystal Hardwick has contributed greatly to the dynamics of our sound and live performances. We perform live drum n' bass music, though we dabble in many genres. We are very unique in the fact that many artists of this genre are DJ's and we are a band performing our tracks Live. I play an Roland TD-10 electronic drum set on stage at up to 210 bpm's. Occasionally, I'll also bring out the Handsonic - a really fun hand percussion module. I picked up the nickname, the "Human Drum Machine", since hitting the scene in 2003. Besides losing a lot of sweat doing the the live percussion thing, I also sing and rhyme on a few tracks. Jason, the backbone of the group, plays synths, guitars, and he sings as well (quite well, actually). Krystal is an amazing singer and she even breakdances every so often. Every now and then Levon Louis will appear with us and add in some MC'ing and addition programming. Our performances have created a nice buzz throughout the Southeast U.S., where we have played steadily and done three large tours. We've also creating quite a buzz in other areas of the country, perfoming in the major cities (and some minor) in California, Florida, Arkansas, Nevada, South Carolina, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Utah, New Jersey/New York, and of course, TEXAS. After being away from the scene (with the exception of 3 shows) in 2007, while my bandmate, Jason, was recovering from brain surgery after a brain tumor diagnosis, we're back out in 2008 and diggin our heels into the scene once again. Look for our tour schedule on www.myspace.com/deadpa - we'll be coming to a city near you soon!!!! Our debut CD, "The Dead Will Rise" (pictured below) is available now!!!!

I absolutely love playing soccer. I joined the Fury FC soccer team two seasons ago. We just clinched the Championship division title last season and are now playing in the Premiere League here in Houston. I also play with the indoor team, Recoil and the co-ed crew, Houston City. I love getting out of town when I can for some R&R. I enjoy checking out live music, going camping or hiking with a couple of my close friends, or just lounging at the ranch.
