My Bands

I'm in two bands.

The first, is Porkins' Ghost. http://www.myspace.com/porkinsghost
The band consists of my friend Dave on drums and me on bass. We play primarily improv space rock, for lack of a better word. We play in a huge building at his place way out in Western Iowa near Stuart. We did have one show, at the Vaudeville Mews, on May 15, 2009. We were also featured on an UnderTheMic compilation. We'd like to play more, but various commitments have kept us busy and not rocking. We'll be back, though.

The second is Black Storm Alice. http://www.reverbnation.com/blackstormalice
This is a more traditional Classic Rock Cover Band. It consists of Doug Diaz on drums, Doug Ulenhopp on guitar, Hanna Jones on vocals and me on bass. Like I said, pretty straight ahead rock, but I have managed to drag some improv jams out of them every once in a while. This probably has more potential for shows, since it's a more conventional type band, but we have yet to play a gig.

I would love to play more, but my work schedule won't allow it. It is opening up more lately, so I can get to some jams. My dream, as usual, is to make a living at this, but I don't know.

Oh, dear. I promised not to be boring, but you've probably stopped reading by now. Oh well.
