…but I've got a lot to be modest about!

by Joe

Ha! Ha! I eat Rubik's Cubes and shit them out solved! I wrote a post a while back called 'I hate band bios' which is pretty much where I still stand. To recap: it all seems a little too egotistical to write something about yourself saying how good you are. Even to have someone else write it and you posting it. "Alright…. enough of me talking about me …..YOU talk about me for a while….."

Don't get me wrong, I don't suffer from low self esteem or anything - I've got drugs for that - but I am kinda modest. Alright alright….. saying you're modest kind of defeats your point…… but I've just never felt comfortable inflating myself. I'm sort of jokingly self-effacing, in the hopes that if something I do does seem impressive, so be it. What I'm trying to say is that I'd prefer to let the music speak for itself. Over hyped band bios are a dime a dozen. I can't tell you how many shitty bands I've seen over the years that want you to believe they were the greatest thing to come down the turnpike since the invention of the grilled fucking cheese sandwich. Not me. I guarantee that you won't like a song or two of ours. I guarantee that there'll be a song or two when you'll get up and go for a piss, or belly up to the bar to get another beer.

I try to be entertaining, and I always try to keep in perspective that folks are spending their hard earned dough for a drink or a cover charge in the bar that I'm playing in, but the reality of it is, not every body's gonna like what we do.

So, I think I'm just gonna add stuff to this (b)log as time goes by and create an ever changing series of band biographies
