Down The Lees has been a labour of love. I have been wanting to release a solo album for YEARS! Finally, it happened and I'm happy to say that I have a couple people in my life who are willing to play these songs live with me. Melanie Covey (New Years Resolution, (Trail vs Russia) and Mimi Mahovolich (Portico, Skinjobs). I for one, am glad that I gained a lot of experience being in bands such as NEW YEARS RESOLUTION, the SKINJOBS, SINGLESEVEN and QUEAZY. It gave me the knowledge I needed to write and perform all the songs on the record, without cringing! It took many months to complete the tracking process alone. Performing all the instruments was quite satisfying, one that I don't know if I'll repeat, but satisfying none-the-less. I had a great time recording the album and if you like what you hear on MYSPACE, let me know! It's always nice.

I hear that you've infiltrated the enemy equiptment room. Way to go, bring them down from the inside by using their gear for your evil music. You rock! I'll come visit you there sometime. Keep making beautiful (if not evil) music.
the new song is rad. you sound like a talking old man! i haven't heard you sing for a while though and i guess your vocal cords are all grown up. i can't wait till that happens to me too. xo lyn
hey buddy...long time...
are you finding this festive season as busy as i am? maybe in the new year we can hang out sometime...
???
ps bah humbug
is that wrong?
i agree. cowbell needed. could I play it in the same manner that Will Ferell plays it? I would do a great job.
ohh sooooo I have to apologize for my blindness. Apparently i've been reading your name as down with the lees...or maybe I said it once and it stuck...but anyways I believe at the show I said it wrong and thats kinda silly of me. hope your enjoying your summer days.
