THINGS OUTSIDE THE SKIN: My primary musical endeavor. t.o.t.s. has been in existence for nearly 17 years and is currently signed to Invisible Records in Chicago, IL.. The lineup has changed a lot over the years but we’ve kept it all together and continue to grow. My brother Brian (Blight) plays bass, Lars Casteen from The Qualia plays guitar and Ericah Hagle, formally of Unto Ashes, sings. Most of my waking time revolves around t.o.t.s.. Go to www.totsland.com for up to date info on the band and lots of downloadable content.
The Qualia: I’ve been playing synths with The Qualia for about two years now. The Qualia is run by Lars Casteen and is signed to WTII in Chicago, IL.. Aside from playing synths on occasion for t.o.t.s. live, this is my first major endeavor with synthesizers on stage. Lars’ music is significantly different than my own and that plays a big part in my wanting to perform with The Qualia… new ways to approach things. Check out The Qualia out here: www.thequalia.com.
Mr. 1234: Formally The 1234. I play live guitars for this Brooklyn based band run by Tim Durland. I’ve been with Mr.1234 for a few years now and like my role in The Qualia, my role is based around performing live versions of the songs and not writing. That being said, a good deal of some of my ideas have bled into the live set which is fun. Check Mr. 1234 here: www.mr1234.com.
