What's up? My name is Mike, I play guitar and do bgv in the band. I was born 6-1-81 in Eugene, OR, and have resided in the area ever since. I graduated high school in 1999, and proceeded to be kicked out of a few colleges in the ensuing years. I started playing the drums when I was 15, and guitar when I was 19. The first band I was in was called spring fever when I was 16, at least that's the name I think we decided on, it only lasted for a couple of weeks. Followed by a year as the drummer for a punk core, death metal wannabe band called "From Canadia". After which I became the drummer for a modern rock /Southern rock / classic rock / blues band called "The Still Life" for 5 years, after 5 years playing in this band I decided that I was in need of a change, so I parted ways with "The Still Life" and took almost 2 years off from " the music scene. " All the while writing music and biding my time. Now this opportunity has presented itself,and I am excited about this new adventure. My musical influences to list a few are Blink-182, MxPx, Slipknot, Godsmack, P.O.D., Living Sacrifice, Mortification, Limp Bizkit, Fenix TX, Finch, 30 seconds to Mars, Ac/Dc, Led Zepplin, The Beatles, Angels and Airwaves, (+44),Rammstien, Sum 41, and Blindside.
