The Max Fischer Players

About Me

Well the players pretty much started out as a solo acoustic project while I was in a band in Pensacola called Failing as Heroes. After the band split back in July of 2003, I kept writing stuff and the things I wrote became MFP songs. I play solo shows when I can and do the home recording thing. I also went to UWF for schooling in the pretentious bad art thing. And now I live in Tallahassee and do the art education grad thing. So there. I'm gonna put some art and crap and whathaveyou up here in my photos because people always are axing me "what kind of art do you make?!" right after they tell me that they can't draw. So take a gander if you're feeling saucy. Drew out. ps-Aim=mofopartyguy

Kiley Scout Magee

That's her dang name. So don't wear it out. I just ran back to the house to email some photos to the family as it's been mandated that I do so. But I am, in fact, a dad now. It's still pretty surreal,...
