Artist description Dramatic, angular, tense - emphasis on percussion and shifting time signatures. I write using a keyboard and computer sequencer. Also play drums. Would like to do more than eat, sleep, work and write songs at home. Need a soundtrack for a film project? Or do you have a band that needs a visceral, slightly sloppy (I'm quickly improving thanks to playing Communication Breakdown 17 times every day, destroying my hi-hats and relations with anyone in a 1000-foot radius) drummer who looks like he thinks he's in Urge Overkill, sings like the bastard son of Paul Westerberg and can write rock and roll songs? Please send me an E-mail.
