A song that I love, a demo that I hate, remixed by myself to make it more bearable. I'm the bass player...

the Diversions - "Biff Bang Pow" [Dire remix]

the Diversions - "How Many Birds" [Dire remix]

the Diversions - "Glendora" [Dire remix]

A phone recording made during band practice. I played a Burns Barracuda (Bass VI type)

Razorblade Monalisa - "Remote Self Control" [18 Mar 2009 Practice]

Razorblade Monalisa - "Fall Out" [18 Mar 2009 Practice]

Rose Lyon - live band recordings made in preparation for a 3 September radio appearance (KDVS - sacseen). We couldn't play live at the radio station because our bass player was at Burning Man, so we just recorded some live tunes a couple weeks in advance. I play guitar with frequent simultaneous mellotronish accompaniment courtesy of a two pedalboard/two channel setup. No overdubs, no synthesisers!

Rose Lyon - "Mighty Man"

Rose Lyon - "Five Arms to Hold You"

Rose Lyon - "My Radio"

From our only official release, circa 2019. i played bass guitar.

Lizard Party

Black and Blue

From the same sessions that spawned our only official release, circa 2019. But this one was rejected by a couple of the band members. I really liked this one and am proud of the bass lne in it. 

Good Days [unreleased outtake]

As of 17 June 2016, "Moments in Meantime" is Gamine Grey's newest song, but it's also the first one we've ever completed a demo recording of.  Sort of the opposite of how most bands do it, no?  It's also probably the song of ours that's closest to being a "classic pop" tune.  But you can still dance to it, I swear!  We are very glad to be able to unleash this upon the world...  https://www.facebook.com/gaminegrey

-----------------------------------------

In this nowhere that leads to somewhere I still wear the hole in my head
And with my armor and my sword I leave my bed
in search of glory to fight the wicked for all those who cannot defend
I am the white knight of the moon, my quest never ends

If I die the king, if I kill the queen, no one understands this part of royalty

Once I arrive in the shadows
I watch the time as it follows
Once I dive in the shadows
I wait I wait I wait

With all my nothing I gave you something by stealing the heart of the sun
And now my honor and my pride have come undone
My search for glory has led to fortune, my fooling the world of the wise
Once again the knight of the moon is on the rise

If I choose to see all I claim to be no one understands this is my destiny

Once I arrive in the shadows
I watch the time as it follows
Once I dive in the shadows
I wait I wait I wait

With all my dreaming and never sleeping I'm free to live under her spell
Now here in the white light of the moon is where I dwell
And if I lose the key to the door that unlocks all of my dreams
No one understands this is not what it seems

Once I arrive in the shadows
I watch the time as it follows
Once I dive in the shadows
I wait I wait I wait

Gamine Grey - "Aspirations" [demo]

-----------------------------------------

A solemn solitary moment
I found out... I walk alone...
An umbrella of a memory fades
The signs of these times are a charade

And when the pendulum swings in time
I carry my... I carry my sword and fight!
No people, no kingdom come
Just a void land, now our homeland's gone and overthrown

Kingdom come
Kingdom gone
Kingdom come

Just switched up, I'll watch the gates
Never lost hope, never lost the dark age
If you mind them, get behind them... Stay!
Sorry my son, you must feel the pain!

And when the pendulum swings in time
I promised you... I promise to uphold the light
With devotion send explosions high
No emotions, hear our battle cry!

What goes up must come down
There's no place to hide
Take your medicine all my friends
Now it's time to say good night
Say goodbye!

And when the pendulum swings in time
We carry our... we carry our flag and fight
Victory weighs heavy on our minds
Nobody can take away our pride!

Kingdom come, kingdom gone
Kingdom come, kingdom gone
Kingdom come, kingdom gone
Kingdom come, kingdom gone
Kingdom come!

Victim of the ongoing "Great Meta Banwave" ... Do an internet seach for 'meta banwave 2025' to see how hundreds of thousands (or millions?) of lives and livelihoods around the world are being ruined by what's been happening at Facebook/Instagram/Messenger... The link to a reddit post below is a good start; there are some good links to stories in the comments.
