MICHAEL JOHN MCLAIN

About Me

Michael John McLain is a composer/songwriter. Michael plays several instruments. Bass is one of them. He plays bass in this sleazy garage band called The Dead Eyes of London. Sometimes he sings. He sings all the songs for his other project Polyfusia. He also likes to play guitar in Polyfusia. Polyfusia sounds like a trash compactor from the future. Michael also composes legit music, but everybody thinks that it sounds ugly. Some people think Michael's music is dark and depressing, and has no commercial potential. Michael loves his music and thinks that it is beautiful. People think Michael is out of his mind. Michael thinks the world has gone completely insane and that the only rational thing to do is dig a hole in the ground and wait for everybody to kill each other. Michael is hopeful that a natural disaster will hit the city he lives in so he can go looting. When Michael was two he dragged a hose into the living room and watered it. Michael looks for beauty and humor in places that nobody thinks exist. When Michael dies he plans on continuing his exploration of the universe for truth and knowledge. Michael thinks that the world would be a better place if all the politicians would just kill themselves. Michael wants to create the most amazing and beautiful music ever, and he will. Michael thinks art is the only worth wile thing in life. Michael will do anything for art. Michael can't wait to see what happens next.
