ok here's my story. my name is joe basak aka bones and recently joe valentine. imagine growing up with that middle name. this site is a compulation of some of the bands i have worked with. each band has it's own original sound. let's start from the beginning, there is a long live of entertainers in my family. my grandfather was a old time singer he hung out with the rat pack aka frank sanatra and so on. i started playing drums at the ripe old age of 5. let's refraze that i played pots and pans and drove my parents nuts. from there a few school bands but in 1989 i moved to sw florida from chicago,culture shock, anyway i hooked up with a group of guys that called themselves flat broke. and that we were, as we traveled and made money we drank it, oops. from there i worked some other projects that were mainly original. one of those was called parallell world, an awsome group of musicians. that was my first time in the studio, it was also the insporation to go to school for audio. after a brief interlood with WB records we all moved on. the next big project was call meridian x, lots of shows both cover and original. we did record but the masters grew legs and walked off, the fbi is looking into it. moving on 1999 i had taken some time off from the music world other then brief jam sessions. at one of these sessions i met the guys from RELM, we played a little then moved on. 6 months later they called me to play a show. so i learned 12 originals in a few rehearsals and we did a show with eddie money. from there we worked with the likes of molly hatchet-inner circle-maxi priest(bad boys theme)-the fix-robbie krieger(the doors) plus many reginal bands. as all bands do we parted ways, moving on i joined up with leo caruso and jim kron to form pound of life, we recorded a full album with flatblack records, we are all ascap members and published artists for tv and movie soundtracks. in the process jim kron and myself put together 4 letter word as a cover project. you can check that out at www.4lw.net at the moment i am looking for some other musicians to do some shows with. i also have my own pa that can handle any any small to mediem venue. if you want to know more send me a request, that's my story and i'm stickin to it.
