The Name's Suicide...Live Suicide

An update on the band... We now have a total of 11 songs written by the band as well as 3 songs written by me. The line up has also changed. Robert Willems will not be playing guitar since he will be playing for another band, more on that later...

Also, thanks to Andy we will have a pianist/keyboardist! Her name is Angie Wong, and she's been playing piano for 20 years (and counting). Her keyboarding skills and haunting vocals will add some of the elements that were missing in the band. And as far as the name is concerned, we finally agreed on it--- Live Suicide. Stay tuned for further developments...

New Recruits (AKA: The Mind Control is Working!)

When I first started this one man group I just said whatever the fuck I wanted, I wrote what I wanted and could have cared less what the hell people thought. Then when I realized that people were actually into what I was doing, I decided to form a group... and that's pretty much where the fucking shit hit the fan! I realized that the THC lovers could not keep up with my demands cuz apparently I can write and perform more styles than the normal THC so-called "musician" listens too.

Anyways, after talking to several of my students (yeah I teach, so beware!) I realized that I could recruit the students that could play what I could write. And after talking to a couple of my students, I recruited (don't worry you don't have to know any of these names...not yet at least!) Robert Willems (Guitar), and Andy Arrazola (Bass).

So far, we have done some its and bits here and there... new songs will eventually be coming soon. As for the official name of the band itself, I don't know if it will be the Fly Kingdom or something else. I still haven't decided yet...I don't really give a shit, to be honest. I just wanna write music and play places. The rest of the other bullshit people think about is really none of my concern right now. More on that later...

My Music Update

Well, it's now been a while since my last blog... I still haven't been able to get a full band as of yet, just pieces really. So I am officially a one man band now. It's not all bad, you know... for being a solo artist does have it's rewards, like for instance; I haven't gotten into a creative argument with myself yet, at least!

But with The Mechanical Khrist's and all, which has been a real success for me as well as for all the individuals that have heard it, I am now working on a new demo of blues songs. Of course it won't sound like your mother's blues! So, when I am done I will post it up on my website. For the moment you'll just have to settle for the name of the demo, which is: How to Write a Satanic Song.

Catchy title, don't you think...?
