ABOUT

like a lot of us, been playing for a while, started playing drums with human beings in 91', all kinds of styles from punk to free jazz. played guitar all along but really got into it around 2002. A lot of home recordings (check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veOGd4OjaD0) Always focused on the music until i got a shot at a record deal...learned a lot about the industry (rolls eyes) main lesson: music industry is not about music. Said fu*k it and formed 'the mattress company' (also on youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAACZrcHSUM, ) After 4 years the band burned out. I decided to take time off to study the guitar, learning to play with more freedom the kind of music i enjoy most, jazz blues and metal.
I'm really interested in getting a death metally thing going but i'd love to just get together with musicians who have that fu*kin enthusiasm for making noises do exciting things.
