About Me

************************************************************ ** I've been playing and recording music since 1980. Since 1993 I've been in the Topeka based band BACKLASH, which has been loud and proud for the last 15 years. In that time the band has released 3 cd's: "Dressed For Success " (2003), "No Quarter No Mercy" (2004), "Tattooed Nation" (2006), and the newest cd "BACKLASH" was released in May 2009. The new cd can be bought at WWW.CDBABY.COM/BACKLASHROCK. We've opened for such acts as Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick, Eddie Money, White Lion, Doro Pesch, Stephen Piercy of Ratt, Artimus Pyle, and have played many outdoor rock festivals all over the place, including biker rallys and festivals. Our music from 2003-2006 can be downloaded at WWW.SOUNDCLICK.COM/BACKLASHKS. As for my "solo" work I've released over 10 projects in the last 10 years with many archived in my little studio at 9 Productions. I also write, record, produce, arrange, and play my own material and have been doing so since 1980. Thanks for visiting my page, keep rockin'! Slainte Mhath! Shawn (Mad Dog)
