I love to make new songs with smooth organic sounds and vocal harmonies that remind me of favourite bands from the 1970's. If you like Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, America, Neil Young, and Nilsson, you might enjoy this music too.

These songs are fictional vignettes and stories. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

I facilitated worship in congregations for many years, and some songs here were written for that purpose. If you find a one you'd like to use, I would be happy to provide a chart.

We just hired an awesome new singer!! Now all we need is a kick ass drummer! We're in the Phoenix, AZ area. wip.rocks https://www.facebook.com/wip.rocks

Led by lead guitarist and songwriter, Louie, “world in pieces” beginnings can be traced back to the early 90's when he was joined by Kenny on Vocals and rhythm guitar.  Though very close in age, Louie is actually Kenny's uncle.  “We are so close in age that Louie has been more like an older brother than an uncle.  We have quite a bit of similarity in our musical influences, and we have always worked great together.  Louie writes most of the material, and together we put the finishing touches on it to create the songs,” says Kenny, “It's been quite a journey getting to where we are today, as a band, and as a family.” 

There have been many different lineups and musicians throughout the years.  In 2012, Louie met the bassist Bill, when they worked together in a machine shop.  “From the first time we played together, 
I knew we had something.  Louie's writing style gives me the freedom to actually play the bass more musically, and still hold down the rhythm of the songs,” offers Bill, “I have always loved bands like Pink Floyd who really explore their music, and “world in pieces” gives me the opportunity play these complex underlying compositions, in a style I really enjoy playing.”

Kenny really wants to concentrate mostly on playing guitar and find a really good singer/front man. We found this in our newest member Wayne Anthony Wright in March, 2016.

In 2015, “world in pieces” hits the stage with their new live show throughout the southwest.  Though their fan base is mostly in Phoenix, the band’s sights are set on Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Beyond!

The System Lights is a guitar-oriented mixture of atmospheric British and American influenced music. Lyrics are taken from shelves of classic and obscure literature as well as this thing called reality. Moody vocals and blistering, effects laden - as well bare bones - guitar, are part of this concoction that walks the line between obscure indie and commercial radio rock and roll. We love life. Shine on.
