Sleep, those little slices of death; How I loathe them...

About Me

Greetings everyone! Before we begin, let it be known that I loathe EMO and everything to do with this pathetic culture. if you are an EMO wanting an add, you better have a damn good reason...
I'm Mike Skull, and if you found this page half the search is over...
If you wish to talk to me directly, my AOL IM is:
TheVileBassist
I am a musician with an interest in all sorts of rhytms and textures. I like playing new intruments, but I mostly stick to bass guitar and vocals. I have been in two bands, both of which are in my top 8 if you care to listen to my past projects. The band that I started 7 years ago was called The Vile.
I have also played bass for a short stint in time with Legendary L.A. Deathrock band 45 Grave. If you care to listen to either, they are both directly linked in my Top 8.
If you would like to add me as a friend, go for it! I love meeting new people, but PLEASE send me a message first! If you don't, I WILL send you a really generic message, not out of spite or malice, but just simple hilarity and rhetoric.It will look like this:
Hey!
Thanx for the friend request! Your drawer in my friend morgue has grown cold. glad to have ya!
Feel free to Chat the hell out of me on AIM ... TheVileBassist
