Artist History CJ Marsicano has been working on creative endeavors for most of his natural life. In his 33 years on the planet he has performed with several bands in the Northeast Pennsylvania area, but since 1997 he has become best known, under both his own name and, early on, under the screen name "forever t-boz's guy", as a cultural critic for the sports entertainment art form known as professional wrestling, having co-founded two of the earliest online newsletters devoted to the sport, "The Sharpshooter" and his own "The Outsider Edge" in 1997. In 1998 he founded the first official homepage for an ECW personality, that of "The Head Cheerleader" Francine (Francine Fournier), a site which debuted in the Top 10 on WebSideStory's Sports Website Chart in February of 1998. He expanded his audience by contributing articles to IWrestling.com, HadesWrestling.com, Piledriver Press, and The Bagpipe Report that same year, and in 1999 he joined the ScoopsWrestling.com team, first writing for their supplemental newsletter S*P*A*M (Scoops Periodic Anecdotes And Musings) and then being promoted to the site proper in January of 2000. In April of 2000 he represented ScoopsWrestling.com at ECW's annual Cyberslam convention, covering that weekend's event-filled fan Q&A session as well as the fateful title matches that involved Tommy Dreamer, Tazz, and Justin Credible. When ScoopsWrestling.com was folded by its corporate owners in February of 2001, he joined many fellow Scoops staff members at WrestlingBytes.com and its sister music site Proj-ex.net. As a musician, CJ has played with several bands as wither a member or guest artist since the early 80's. His ability to play several different instruments endeared him to the then-active Northeastern Pennsylvania music scene. His current efforts in the techno field return him to musical performance after a five-year absence. "WMX8 EP" is CJ's first recording as a solo artist. He has already begun work on his first full-length artist album, tentatively entitled "Paradise Is 375 Miles From Shit Town" and set for release in late summer 2002

Group Members CJ Marsicano plays all of the instruments (guitar, bass, keyboards, drum machines) on his recordings, and more often than not creates his "samples" by recording one-man-band demos either on an analog four-track machine or most recently, with digital multi-track software, and then sampling a bar or two of the results. The result allows him to get the sound of sampled material without having to deal with any copyright hassles beyond the copyrighting and publishing of his own original material.

Instruments Keyboards, drum machines, guitar, bass, loops, samples, programming, arranging, composing.
