Chris Cayton (Goldfinger)

DIssatisfaction, the taste of dust. A hybrid punky song.
 my mind never wants what is in my hand
i think im a ghost hanging on to what i understand
my mind is a cage and it starts to rust
on the tip of my tongue is the taste of dust

Summer 1999. Ex IMRU? Tim Alexander, Chris Cayton and Geoffrey Folkerth sell their souls to the pop gods. Sticky sweet Sugarush was the project. RIP Tim.

Summergirl (Sugarush) remastered

Music is my first love. "Urban Assault" from South Lake Tahoe was my first band. We recorded "SLT" on Alternative Tentacles compilation "All Quiet on the Western Front". (SLT is available on  itunes)

In the early 80's IMRU? was born from being unsatisfied with hardcore punks limited creativity. Members of IMRU? went on to  7 Seconds, Rancid, and Goldfinger .(check the song "Chris Cayton" by Goldfinger/John Feldmann, also available on itunes)

1999 ex members of IMRU? Create sugarush solely to land a record deal. Sickly sweet space tunes were spun. The late Tim Alexander , Gow Folkerth and myself tried and died. Listen to Nomad.

In 2012 with help from Batwing, aka Donny Campion, I set out to learn three different digital music platforms (Garageband, Pro tools, and Ableton).

My new years resolution was to write and record 13 songs in 2012. I loaded the last song on Dec 31st 2012.Download and share all you want.
