I had the opportunity to sing for an extremely talented and rocking band out of Austin, Texas appropriately named the Love Handles.
These tracks are what I have to remember these guys, as I no longer sing for them. Had to move. :(

I hope you enjoy these rocking tracks as much as I do!

04 - The Love Handles - Peace And Understanding

03 - The Love Handles - Powers That Be

02 - The Love Handles - It S So Easy

01 - The Love Handles - Running

Recorded using an H4N during a practice session in 2012/13.

The Who - The Seeker

By far, the most favorable group I've ever had the privilege of being part of. Almost ten years ago and the feeling still lingers. How I do miss MiSo, formerly Killing Karma. 
Alex - Drums
Darrel - Bass
David - Guitar
Chae - Vox

MiSo - Tensions (studio demo)

Tell me
all your deep dark secrets
everything you want
how bad you need it

Don't you know
that all you have
is all you need
and the rest will come

in good time
put it out of your mind
all in good time

I know how much
you have to have it
I betcha'd even kill for it

Don't you know
where do you go
you gotta keep aware
be careful not to stare
because
it will not be the last time
where you don't get what you want
remember it's
all in good time
it's
all in good time

tried to tell you once
seems youll never learn
if you want to stay
then get out and earn
the world is on fire
don't sit and burn
instead of water
for money you yearn

Now why did I go and do that?
Never go back, always move forward,
right?
Well...maybe.
Maybe I drop it just one more time,
for you.
Yes, you.

In Good Time

Alright, that about does it. I can't hear this song and not fucking dance around the room like a front stage dancer at a rave party.
The lyrics have been redone and added to! 
The bass and drums should be phatter, wither the leads piercing a bit more. All the while, that lovely dark fader lord sings along behind it all.
You'll fucking love it. I promise.
Now, shut up. And go--
          Downtown
--------========-----------
I know that it is all the way
downtown
To stay with you tonight
it's true

I want to get a car
but it's too far and I'm sober
if I take mine
I'll get pulled over
I have no doubt

Call me crazy but
the thoughts not in my head
if I get myself down there
I won't have a good time

Some think the world is out to get them
That's not the way it is
Let loose your expectations
and make your way downtown
and make your way downtown

Stop
I need you to catch your breath
a little bit more baby
let's see what you got left
//!!Shake it!!\\




I know that this is the way
to your place to get high
Open up and take me into your mind

You know that it is better
everything is better
it's better when I'm there

Because every time you gather 
stormy weather clouds go by
Because every time you gather 
stormy weather clouds go by

We'll go
down
downtown

We'll go
down
downtown

Downtown

Try to go against the things
that make you who you think you are.
You won't get very far.

The programming that makes you move,
underneath it all it's true.
Habitual things you see,
it's what makes up you and me.

And I know it's crazy.
If you want we'll be lazy.
Free will gets kinda hazy.
That's why they say maybe...

it takes effort.
And some don't even have it.
Get up and move or risk being
a creature of habit.

Ball and chain and credit card.
Over worn though you try so hard.
Ever wonder if as kids 
this is what we'd want to be?
Well, I know
I don't feel free,
even though it is told to me.
Indoctrination failed you see.
I'm losing it...my sanity.

Try to go against the things
that make you who you think you are.
You won't get very far.

The programming that makes you move,
underneath it all it's true.
Habitual things you see
it's what makes up you and me.

We're creatures of habit.
It's what makes up you and me.

Creatures Of Habit

White Noise
----------
Take a look around
at all the sound.
All you'll hear is white noise.
Come to me and listen please.
What reaches your heart is your choice.
I tell you this
you won't miss
the world and all of it's white noise.

Keep your head down, quick and low now,
don't let them in on all ya know.
When the deck's passed out, we aim to win.
Cards in your hand, ace high, begin.

Cash flow, the money is blown,
enough distractions to keep you on your toes.
Don't fool around and waste all my time.
You think I am new, ain't my first time.

Cause, I'm deadly.
Leader of my pack. 
Don't let me think that you forgot that.
Cause the truth of the matter
I do as I please
You say it again. I'll make you bleed.

Don't be a fool. 
let me catch you off guard.
The first times grace.
Second time, whoa!
Third time, I put you in your place.

It's all white noise.
It's all white noise.

The way you see
Just let it be.
Oh my friend, you need rest.

All in this
we are together.
For here is now
and now is forever. And ever.

It's all white noise.

White Noise

Things are in the works right now. Thanks for coming by. Creatures of Habit is my latest creation and reflective of what you can come to expect on future productions.
In the meantime, enjoy listening to the other tracks of varying quality from my past!
