About Me

I was messing with the one-man band thing and was using some shitty homemade foot drums. Phil, who was recently named 'The Menace' by a Birmingham district court judge, has been a friend of mine since I moved to AL. I knew he had a drum kit and used to play so I asked to borrow his hi-hats and bass drum. Then I thought, "I suck ass at this one-man band bullshit, why don't I just get him to play his own damn drums." So in place of my incoordination, I added another set of arms. And 'Buckeye' was born. We record just like we play, at the same time. Two folks and all the noise we can bring. Most of our microphones are homemade. We used a lot of duct tape. Now most of our time is spent working, playing junkyard music, climbing higher than one ought to without ropes, trying to keep the old lady from leaving, and (in my case) making guitars that can chew the 'nads off your Taylor...if you want one I'll make you one. [buck-eye (n.): a charm thought to bring good fortune in sexual matters (likely due to the 'doctrine of signatures' and that which it obviously resembles), to aid in prevention of rheumatism, arthritis, or headache, and to increase one's supply of pocket money.]
