    Artist History
    1986-1990 Various Rock Bands 1991-1995 Childsood/Blah 1996 Plastic Glass 1997 Dragon 1998-2001 Severed Childhood: When Antonio joined the band, the band had just lost one of two guitar players. A months after he joined they lost the bass player. So Antonio picked up the slack and jumped on bass. Shortly after they lost thier drummer. That's when Antonio got his brother Jesse to fill the position. A few months after the Demo was recorded they lost the first guitar player. Soon after they recieved interest from Blonde Vynil and NP. But unfortunately they could not find a bass player to capitalize on the situation. Blah: The secular version of Blah (Childhood and Blah are bassically the same Christian band) did not recieve much attention. The band was not stable any more. I guess its hard to keep something together when it was falling apart from the beginning. Antonio still kept in touch with the original bass player and conviced him to get it going again: i.e. the Christian version of Blah. The Bass Player got the Singer and the Singer got the original drummer. They after a couple of month of practice and coming up with new material they recorded. A few months later Antonio recieved a letter from Jello Biafra of Alternative Tentacles bassically offering distribution for a 7" or a full lenght CD. But because of musical differences they couldn't keep it together to capitalize on this situation. Plastic Glass: This project was put together to generate interest with the contacts Antonio made over the years. The vocalist was from his friend's band "Announcing Predictions". But the quality of the 4-track mix down recording was so poor that Antonio was not willing to put his name on it. The version of one of the songs on this site is a remix that sounds good. This project was also ment to break Antonio out of the Punk Rock stereo type. Dragon: this project was put together to try and capitalize on some of the contacts that Shelby Wilson had. But unfortunately things never worked out. Severed: This was a project that was to be future based: a mixture of heavy and elecrtonic music. Without the use of Keyboards or synths all the sounds create were from their Boss GT-5 Guitar Processors. It was an ambitious project that fell through. Currently Antonio is working with Naomi (Vocalit: Plastic Glass) and Jesse (Drummer of Childhood, Blah 1993, and Severed).
