A core sound of indie rock, but while weaving around unrelated genres for the sake of dynamics.

Getting By

Smalltime Vault is my one-man recording project. I've been writing these songs my whole life. But for most of my life I did not have the means to record them. Now I have a humble demo studio in the basement of my house, where I live with my wonderful little family. 

I started off as an angry kid playing punk rock. Being in the DIY, punk rock, drunken shit-show that was Einstein really formed a lot of the world for me. I still love that stuff, but I've grown to love some other (quiter) genres too. So forgive me if I jump around with my influences.

I'm still an active musician, as the bass player and singer for the party band Go Gadget Go!. This is a local cover band that I'm lucky to have with most of the old guys from Einstein. It's still loud and drunken, but it's just cover songs in rowdy bars now. And also, I'm Snakepants in the not-so-famed punk rock recording outfit of Snakepants and Rocco. That's a ton of fun, but we don't produce much. My dear friend Rocco is busy half of the time, and a useless douche for the other half of the time. So Smalltime Vault is my outlet, where I breath a little life into songs that I've written over the last 20-something years. 

So thanks for visiting the basement and for taking a listen.
