Derek Buddemeyer (budd-ē-myer) is a hard rock guitarist/instrumental musician born in Kansas City, Missouri.  Musical influences include George Lynch (Dokken/Lynch Mob), Warren DiMartini (RATT), Reb Beach (Winger), and Vito Bratta (White Lion).  Although his roots are heavily saturated in a tangled web of 80's/90's glam-metal...he also incorporated a heavier sound to his playing influenced by bands such as Anthrax, Overkill, Testament, Metallica, & Megadeth.

      Throughout the years, Derek has developed his own style of melodic hard rock, filled with edgy, pop-metal guitar rhythms, emotional soloing, and the occasional piano/synth-based ballad.

     Derek is currently working as a studio musician, music producer, and music app developer for use with iPhone/iPad devices with a new album due for release soon.

Howl and Moan consists of two members.... Jane and Nel. They met each other at a band's garage rock show and having so many musical inspirations in common, decided to create their own two piece band. The concept was simple.... keep the music simple and do whatever they wanted. Not trying to fit into any sort of easily identifiable hole, the twosome just wanted to create a back to basics, garage rock, DIY kind of project. The songs on this page are some of the fruits of their labors. They may not be radio friendly or always easy on your ears, but the songs have one common thread- fuzzy, dirty rock.

Triangle Exception is composed of the duo of Doug Darrell and Steve Wonchoba. Their musical style often resists categorization, as it morphs from one genre to another, incorporating elements of jazz, pop, classic prog rock, and just plain experimentation.

Based in Minneapolis, MN, Wonchoba tracks vocals, keys, drums/drum programming.

Based near Philadelphia, Darrell tracks vocals, guitar, and bass.
