ABOUT

My name is Steve Northover. I am the rhythm guitarist in "Butterflies and Zebras" and "Dayton Brock". Both bands are currently on hiatus so I am looking for someone around my age that would like to create some interesting music. I do not expect to be the next greatest thing but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in writing and performing. I am also a lyricist.

If you want to contact me, I am steve_northover who is easily found at "mail that is hot" followed by the dot com bubble.

Here are some sample lyrics/poems:

Fatherless

Pawn moves forward, bishop back,
queen on her own color,
forward motion, takes the place,
of life, but only smaller

Pin me down, on starless nights,
and fork me with the options,
discover that, which lies behind,
the Queen and her adoptions

The King is weak, he cannot speak,
overload the pieces,
don't be late, for smothered mate,
or sacrifice his thesis

Forced to move, we can't take back,
we try to make the swindle,
isolate the handicap,
and watch our forces dwindle

Snakes and Ladders

The Gods that torture mortals,
and grind them in the dust,
the few and far between,
are toying with our trust

Some knights without their ladies,
are wolves within the fold,
while driving their Mercedes,
the toys they bought and sold

The backwards snakes and ladders,
coiled tight to strike with fire,
obsessed with earthly matters,
are clothed in sheep's attire
