Prodded by a kind soul who made a donation to this site today, I have made some updates.

First, check out The Whappers, a band I’ve been rocking with for a couple years or more. I have posted some songs from our early demo.

Also, there is Garbage Bear, another outfit I’ve been drumming with, and you will find free songs and a video there.

Lastly, I created a section for You Dirty Rats, a filthy rock band I’ve been enjoying the last month or so. We hope to play out soon, but for now I have posted some rehearsal songs and a video there.

All in all, I’m currently in three bands and am having a crap-load of fun!

You can check out some tunes at the official web site, or on our MySpace page.

It’s straight-up rock and roll music, and I finally feel like I have my chops back on the drums. Check us out and let me know what you think!

We had my pal Jay Altemose (Fantastic Life, Klink) come sit in on bass for the rather haphazard session in my living room.

Be sure to have a listen to these new Channel 18 songs.

Oh, and Jeremy, if you are reading this, I need you to re-send me the Sheepshagger tune that has vocals (and a different name) — I seem to have lost it.

Some run across it not knowing what the heck it is all about; others were trying to dig up relics from the past and ended up here.

Either way, I am always glad to get feedback and comments from people about this site, just so I know it’s being used and should be kept up

Oh, and some Paypal love (see link on the right) wouldn’t hurt to either

It’s under the name Channel 18, which was the band Jeremy and I worked on back in the early 90’s. It was a lot of fun whipping out these tunes. Jeremy and I both believe in the “first take is a keeper” philosophy, which allows a song to maintain the edge and attitude that vanishes once you have tried to redo it 5 times.

Pictured from left to right are John Kampschaefer, Paul Oldham, and myself. Good ole days…

You can check them out on Youtube. Here is the first installment:
