I’ve recently returned to Winnipeg after living in Ontario for 13 years and I’m looking around right now for the right people to hook up with to craft some great music.

Before I left, I was very active in the “all-ages” scene mid-to-late 90′s. For anyone who remembers and can relate, I was the bassist for the bands PeeL, The YOT, Ashphalt Death, and most notably Loghan (with J Williamez and Guy Abraham who went on to form The Velvet Pill, The Mission Light, and the Civil Disobedients).

Lately, I’ve been spending time recording tracks on my own and working on some independent projects. I’m hoping to find some dedicated, talented musicians to collaborate with and write some kick-ass new songs, as well as bring some of my already-completes ones to the stage. In my mind I see it being something in the vain of Faith No More and Peeping Tom with a little NIN and Incubus thrown in for flavour, but don’t want to put constraints on creativity, and want to watch how things evolve.

Other areas in the realm of rock that interest me – hard rock (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Big Wreck, Danko Jones), blues-rock (Big Sugar, SRV, Wide Mouth Mason, ZZ Top), or metal/prog with melodic vocals (Tool, Metallica, Monster Magnet, Alice in Chains).

And just for an idea of music that I like, and has probably influenced me to some extent (in no particular order):
