ABOUT

I've been playing for 20 years on and off. Been in 3 bands and played Phoenix, San Diego, and Detroit. I have a loud vintage half-stack that started it's life as a P.A. amplifier. I use vintage fuzz, wah and analog delay.

What I am NOT looking for:

-Ubiquitous Cover Band types. I am not a human jukebox, and get bored with covers REAL QUICK. Covers are good for those new to their instrument. Obscure, rare covers are cool in small doses.
-Complete Jeckle & Hyde drunks
-Junkies or Cokeheads
-Out of control egos/sociopaths
-Guitar Institute Shredder types

What I AM looking for:

Friendly, passionate, dedicated musicians ready to practice 2-3 times per week. Punk background preferred.
