Basically, over the past 15 years or so I have collected a ton of recordings, mostly live, of my bands or groups of friends playing the songs I have written. You will hear a lot of different vocalists, once in a while you’ll hear me singing. My voice didn’t develop into a lead vocalist’s quality until the last few years or so. Some of them are just live jams, others are complete songs. My newest music isn’t ready to be published so it will be a while before they are up. But when they are, they will be complete and yours truly will be doing all the lead vocals. As of now, I am still playing with Jimmi and Will. All the other people have come and gone over the years. We are trying to decide if any of these songs have potential to be used on the album we are recording now. (a lot of bands keep a repertoire of older songs to draw from for new albums.) Keep in mind none of these songs is recorded with all the new crisp clean recording gear I have now, that’s all saved for the brand new songs, this is older stuff. All
songs are in mp3 format. Live Jams: Most of the
Live recordings are just the PA board into a tape deck with a few room mics. Some of these songs exist in no other place then on
these original live recordings. Feat. Alex
(guitar) Jimmi (Guitar) and Will (drums), circa
1993 (at Feat. Alex (guitar), Dave (vocs), Bob (keys), Andrew (drums) This song was just something I had on the back burner and we started jamming through it and I threw a tape in the tape deck hooked up to the PA and hit record. Complete Songs: Feat: Alex (guitars), Will (drums), Dave (guitar) and Heather on Vocals. Circa 1997 I found the only existing copy of the original recording of this song. This is, in fact, my favorite song I have written. You cannot get the sense of ambiance that this song embodies without hearing it live. The guitar is so enormous, it fills the entire room. Some day I hope to recapture this song with a band. You have to listen to every note, every little nuance in the solo’s and the rhythm section, to appreciate this. When this was recorded it was only the day after I wrote it. The song itself, is about a person who is so busy in their life
that they fail to look around them and notice all that God has given them in
this life, and the life to come. They finally realize what they were missing
in their journey through life. Feat: Alex and
Kevin on Guitars, Alex and Jon on lead vocs, Jon on
bass, And will on drums. Circa 1995 (I redid some of the vocals on Crushed can be
summed up in the words *destroy me you, you own Incomplete Songs: Feat: Alex (guitar), Frank (guitar), Dan (drums), Raff (bass) circa 1997 OUCH! This is a song I REALLY get into playing live. I’m going to have to go back and put my vocals on this someday. It sounds good, but the vocals add so much. And listen to the growl of those Kitty Hawks (amps That’s $8000.00 Worth of guitar amps coming atcha, haha. This one has some funk to it. Too bad Frank’s guitar sound goes totally wacko in this one. Feat: Alex (guitar), Frank (guitar), Dan (drums), Raff (bass) circa 1997 No vocs recorded on this one, If you can make it through it, it’s got some cool textures and rhythmic changes, Frank is on the right noodling away on lead through the whole thing… heh. Feat. Alex (guitar), Heather (voc), Dave (guitar), Andrew (Drums), circa 1996 Not much to say, this was just an idea we never developed into anything. --------------------------------------------------------- There’s a lot more to come, as I have a huge box full of 8 track reels and dat tapes to go through and find stuff, I have to remaster it and run it all through my equipment into the CPU. And there’s the 20 or so new songs that have never been recorded that I have been working on over the past few years, which I actually consider my best stuff as of yet. Enjoy! – alex |
