Fueled by a distaste for all that is mainstream, Mike Leporte formed his own one-man band as an outlet for a dizzying array of cosmic noise. The name of this intriguing new project is Used Alien Mind, and that unique moniker is accompanied by plenty of unique noise. 
“Positive Mental Theme is so irresistibly peculiar and, yeah, fun. Your normal friends will hate it!” -Jim Santo’s Demo Universe 

“Brooding lo-fi noise and fractured left field indie pop…he sings like a broken amplifier.” -Splendid 

“UAM’s Mike Leporte takes the listener into dark corners, sunlit playrooms, and interstellar journeys…this music is for head-tripping.” -Culture Bunker 

“I love albums that take me by surprise.” -Space City Rock 

Used Alien Mind’s second album, “The Placement Aside” offers a cosmic kaleidoscope of experimental noise-pastiche-blues-art-rock leanings; a slight departure from his punk-rock infused solo debut, “Positive Mental Theme”. Used Alien Mind’s new album is stylistically eclectic as a result of collaborating with long-time friends Jon Wohl, Robert Wohl, Pete Weiss and newcomer Katie Beckman on many of the songs. The album’s distinctive sound is also due in part to working in different studios, and using a mixture of lo-fi and high-end recording equipment. The end result creates a brooding, hazy array of sound collages and musical landscapes. Kick back, throw on the head phones, light up and dig the space grooves. Zonked Records

Chronicling Wu-Tang's music, one album at a time. A @Channel10Podcast (@Singodsuperior & @ItsArtic) production.

In February 1999, three longtime friends from West Texas went to a pizza place in Austin, Texas, for a prearranged meeting with a young man from Illinois. The Illinoisan had just moved to Austin, and he had put up a flyer that caught the interest of the others. They ate pizza and discussed movies and arcana. They also decided to meet the next day with their various instruments (two guitars, bass, and drums). This happened, and over the coming months they picked a band name, then picked a better band name, then wrote and recorded an album. That album, called How Strange, Innocence, was largely out of tune, but the band members didn't really notice at the time. They optimistically printed 300 copies, and gave most of them away. It turned out they really liked playing together, so they kept doing so. A friend of theirs sent a recording of one of their live shows to a record label in Baltimore, and that label offered to put out albums for the band. The band agreed.
