A Breed Apart Bassist

About Me

Add to My Profile | More Videos
I'm Spydah, 20 something... I lost count after 21. Does it really matter after that anyway? Once you hit that long awaited mark it all becomes a blur.
I like to make and perform music. I'm a multi-instrumentalist, I've done my share of production and had my own studio at one point. Right now my focus is on playing bass in my band A Breed Apart . I recently picked up an endorsement from Spector Basses , to which I'm increadibly psyched (thanks guys)!
My real name is Roger Barlow. I got the name "spydah" while I was writing and performing music by myself using MIDI instruments (a la Trent Reznor). When I tried to explain how it was possible to someone once they said "wow, you must have 8 arms like and octopus. I'm going to call you octopus... wait, that's dumb, what else has 8 arms... oh, a spider! I'll call you Spider". Since I'm from the Boston area the pronunciation just sort of became the spelling and it all stuck.
