About Me


If you recieved a request from me, and you do not want me added, please block my page. I advertise this way sometimes and it is hard for me to tell if I have requested you, and I do not want to annoy you by requesting multiple times. I have a spam-free policy here on MySpace, and I WILL NOT post comments or messages advertising. I do any advertising I need through bulletins and occasionally friend requests, and I never send out more than one a day, usually less than one a week. Once again, I do not like to annoy people. Keep in mind though, that I also don't like being annoyed, so if you're going to post stuff on my page, make it meaningful. I'm no longer tolerating other bands advertising on my page, unless if I like the music a lot.
The Tim Harpster Band is a one-man-band project created by Tim Harpster of Las Vegas, Nevada. All parts are recorded himself except for drums. Session musicians are used for shows/tours. The sound includes death metal with progressive metal and throws in a touch of classical influences as well.
Sailing is being released as mp3's here on Myspace on July 14th and as CD on August 4th.
I now have two full-length albums completed which are very different from each other.
"A New World" is entirely a bass-solo-album and it is mainly improvised, which means there is quite a few noticable mistakes. I did not make this cd to perfection, and I think I may re-record it in the future. The only way to get a copy of this cd anymore is to contact me. I will greatfully send you one for free (not including shipping) if you ask me for one.
"Sailing" is my newest album and just been released. This album is a progressive-metal-like album in which I recorded all instrumental and vocal parts myself (excluding the drums). YOU CAN PURCHASE THIS CD RIGHT HERE ON MYSPACE!!!
