An Introduction
Posted on January 2, 2011 with 0 comments¡Buenas noches mi amigos!
For this first entry of 2011, I decided to give some short introductions to a few of the supporting cast members that will be undertaking this next chapter of my musical journey with me. In other words, meet the band!
First off, I'd like to introduce my drummer and friend of nearly 10 years- Mr. Carlos Macias.
Carlos Macias
Carlos has been in just about every band that I've ever been in, including our first group, Three Random Guys (formed in 2001!), and there isn't anybody else I'd rather have holding down the rhythmic fort. In addition to playing with me, he'll be spearheading his own musical project, Crtve Assault in 2011.
Next up is the sexiest viking I know- on bass guitar, Mr. Doug Davis.
Doug Davis
I've known Doug for about a good decade now as well; but he didn't officially join the ranks until 2008. He actually hadn't been a bass player prior to joining the group; but he picked it up in order to help me out with a few gigs. One of his first shows with Carlos and myself was a 4th of July Battle of the Bands at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. He was an instant crowd favorite, and since then his boomy, milkshake-self has been bringing all the boys, and girls to the yard. Yeah, I just made that joke.
Last but not least is the newest member of the group, Mr. Eugene Kang, playing lead guitar.
Eugene Kang
Eugene and I first met at an audition for a short film we acted in together. We both were casted in the film and spent all of filming getting to know each other. In the market for a new guitarist, he revealed his axe-wielding talents to me and I haven't hesitated to give him a shot. I'm looking forward to his first gig with me and the rest of the guys.
Carlos, Doug, Eugene and I are all incredibly pumped to begin playing for, and quite possibly entertaining, you folks in 2011. We'll see you at a dive bar, arena, or 1970s garage near you!
On an unrelated note, I kept hearing glimpses of this song in a certain, frothy, commercial; and had to seek it out. After hearing it, I feel it's the perfect song to kick off the adventure that is twentyeleven.
Enjoy!
