Punk is where my heart truly lies, but the lo-fi movement that’s getting started again in the US is really starting to tickle my fancy. I also like a lot of older stuff. Zeppelin, Byrds, Beatles, Cash, Beach Boys… Almost anything from the sixties. Gospel, bluegrass, and soul kind of amaze me, too. I’m all over the map with my music. Some metal, some rap… You know, whatever fits my mood. You?

That’s how it’s supposed to be, right?

Well, I did the easiest fix and just bought another. As far as my stuff our stuff on myspace, I’m sorry! The record actually got completely re-recorded (except for the one song with the small stone goofiness) because we added a bassist. We literally just got the album back from print two days ago, and new posts should be up soon! Sorry if I’ve kept folks waiting, but trust me, it was worth the wait!

So, after an incredibly long search, I found the fuzz tone I wanted. A cat named Stuart Bailey is building sone little fuzz machines that are almost TOO fuzzy. He built two custom ones for me and my guitarist because we offered him a hand built guitar in exchange. The two pedals actually have our band’s name on ’em and mine (since I play electric mandolin and people mistake it for a “small guitar” at our live shows) actually says “Frown Pow’r, Small Guitar Version”. His fuzz pedals are called Sunshine, and he’ll do custom graphics, but he said since he didn’t get to make any creative decisions on the guitar we built for him, we only got to dial in our sound and he would make the pedals look like he wanted them to look. Even the LED’s were a surprise color. As soon as I can, I’ll post a picture of the pedals, and if you ‘uns want, I’ll toss up a pic of the guitar we traded for ’em.
