Before starting on The Seventh Ring of Saturn in 2005, I played with some great bands in Western Mass. and Atlanta, Georgia. I have some video and/or audio clips from each band that I will be uploading here.
Working backward (as usual), I played drums with a psychedelic band called Eeyore from 1998-2000. Here is a clip from my first show with them, on the roof of Full Moon Records in Candler Park, Atlanta, GA.
Before joining Eeyore, I played bass in Joybang! (1992 - 1996). We put out two 7" singles and a CD EP. We toured a lot and played with some great bands including Polvo, Blonde Redhead, MIracle Legion, Helium, The Grays, Swervedriver and Smashing Pumkpins. We recorded six songs for Bob Thiele, Jr. and EMI Records in 1996. Here are a couple live clips from the Midtown Music Hall in Atlanta:
And here are the '96 demos, in two chunks due to file size limits

Before Joybang!, I played bass with Mr. Crowe's Garden from 1986-1988. We opened for Alex Chilton, The Lyres, True Believers, Guadalcanal Diary, Love Tractor and we recorded demos for A&M Records which led to the band's eventual signing with Def American Records by George Drakoulias, who saw us at our first NYC show and suggested the possible new sound. The show was booked by Jefferson Holt who had offered to release a Mr. Crowe's Garden LP on his Dog Gone label).
Here we are at Club Rio in Atlanta in 1987, the same night that Pink Floyd played across the street!
