Name: Kevin
Country: United States
State: Wisconsin
Metro: Menasha
Birthday: 12/24/1985
Gender: Male
Interests: I'm a huge film fan (my current DVD collection is over 130) and music fan. I am more than convinced Fight Club is the most important film ever made. Ya, Citezin Kane is all right (just kidding, great movie) My 5 all time favorite bands are Tool, Radiohead, Dashboard Confessional, Rage Against the Machine and A Perfect Circle. I'm studying Philosophy at UW Fox Valley and plan on attending Oshkosh as a Religious Studies Major.
Expertise: I'm really not an expert in anything. But i pursue my interests with a great deal of passion and intuition. My talents definitely lean towards the artistic side. I've been writing and developing my thoughts and ideas since a very young age. I've been writing songs for about six years and recorded two cds and performed around 60 live performances as a solo artist. I've been playing guitar for four years and bass for five years. I find it rewarding and constantly find new ways to challenge myself. Currently I'm playing in two bands as a bassplayer and vocalist. It's challenged me in new ways and has definitely caused me to grow as a musician.

| Started my new job this week, I love it. My last day at Willies is next Saturday, excited doesnt put it into words! Busy weekend that weekend, Friday battle of the bands with HellTruck, Sat morning famialy reunion, sat night working, and to cap it off on Sunday, SNS has a gig in Wisconsin Dells. I gotta keep busy, gottta keep moving, keep writing, performing, gigging, it's where i belong. This weekend was fun, sat night was a gig in Sturgeon Bay, great time, awesome sound guy, me and the lighting guy got along really well, aparently he builds his own cabinets and wants me to try them out, I'm gonna give it a try. We did a shot before the second set and I pretty much drank free all night and didn't have to drive. Stayed at Jer's cabin, beautiful view, could see the lake from the living room while the tides came in, i sat there for hours before the gig, and drank a nice cold beer, unfortuanately it was Bud Light, but i didnt care. At the end of the night, we were all sitting around the table drinking beer and talking music, soo much fun. | | |
| Tonight I got drunk and reminisced some old memories It was just what i needed
One of my favorite films, and contrary to popular belief, my heading on my xanga 'Soon all these moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain' is not from an emo song, but from this classic Sci fi film. It does kin of sound like that, if I heard it in some song i would probably be like, whoa, that's cheesy, unless of course it's breaking benjamin. That's just a beautiful analogy, and if you've seen the film, and no who says it and when they say it and ohhhh it's fucking brilliant!!!

| Last night was a lot of fun, good times
Finals AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Busy as hell, but that's okay because it's things i enjoy
SNS has a few more gigs added Fri-Sat july 13-14 we'll be doing a casino gig in Iowa, that should be fun
June 8th, walleye weekend at The Shack in Fondulac, Fri Aug 3, Relay For Life in Fondulac, Sat Aug 4th Hitching Post in Manchester. Playing bass for Kevin's acoustic gig at Corleones on Friday May 11th , we get free drinks all night! Week from 2day, and Saturday May 12 at Rialto Hall, HellTruck has a gig opening for Flatley's Crutch, that should be fun. My side project Burning the Veil will get under way in the summer recording with Dennis, we both finally have found some time in our schedules to do some 'serious work' instead of kind of jamming around and talking about guitars for 3 hours and not getting any recording done. I've decided to do the music that I enjoy, I want to acomplish something that will make me really happy, music I would like to listen to, the doors are wide open. For a long time I held off because I was trying to please other people, can't do that, Gotta please yourself first, then the rest will follow, and if some people don't like it, what the fuck does it matter as long as u did what YOU loved? I need to do something creative by myself (for the most part) because I want to reclaim that creative edge I feel I've lost. I need to do something that's for me and is as far away from HellTruck and SNS as possible. I need another outlet. I'll finally have time because with my new job, which i start on mon the 14th, i'll be working from 8 till 3 every day so it leaves the evenings wide open, same with Dennis so we'll be able to work it out becuase during the year, our schedules are so conflicting. Then of course, Summer Concerts! TOOL July 4th at SummerFest is a must! Porcupine Tree June 3rd is also a must, unfortuantley I'll have to skip Breaking Benjamin because HellTruck has an oppurtunity to do a battle of the bands and we should probably take it, I really wanna see BB but, eventually, it will happen. AND, i am going to try my damndest to go see RAGE this Summer at Alpine AUG 24th. I don't care if I have to spend 300 dollars, I'm gonna see my 3rd alltime fave band!
And also, HellTruck plans on recording this summer at Rock Garden
Should be a hell of a summer!

| Very good night. I've had a music filled weekend, SNS gig on friday, didnt get home till 4am, helltruck gig on Saturday night, got home at 2:40. Talked to a lot of cool people, HellTruck got lots of support tonight, everyone was into it. It means alot considering all we put into it, for someone to actully get it, and not to want us to be emo or metal or punk or screamo or any other bumfuck genre u can think of. We talked to some people who had lots of good things to say about us, it was nice to hear people actually understand what we're doing, to get it, to appreciate it. I really liked our sound guy, it sounded excellent, good monitor mix, i could hear everything clearly and equally, lead guitar not too loud, rythm not too quiet, vocals not getting lost in the mix, drums not too loud, which is hard to do with Adam. And also, he said my bass tone was sick. He said it was some of the best bass tone he ever heard! That means sooooooooo much! Also,a firend of mine, Jake Reeth, bought all 4 of us a shot of jameson, which ended up being 14$, we gotta pay him back. He said it was all in the name of supporting Local Music, I wanted to cry, music that was original and creative was getting respect, and it's more than enough to keep me going, even if it means I'm going to be playing in small clubs for the rest of my life, as long as I'm doing something that means so much to me for the rest of my life, what does it really matter what scale it's on. In the end, every musician wants complete creative control over their music, and to create music they really love, what does it matter if they're playing a bar for 20 people or a huge show with 10,000 people. If you're playing shitty music, you're gonna feel shitty no matter if ur playing The Corner Pocket to the 2 other bands and their girlfriends and a few other random other people or you're playing to a sold out crowd at The Resch Center. If you're playing music that's really good, you could care less where it is you're playing because you're doing what you love and for those few magical moments, you lose yourself in the music, any pain you've ever felt is seen in a positive light, something you needed to get through to get to that special place you are in that moment, It's a place you never want to leave. There is no religion, drug or fine imported beer that could ever match that, ever. | | |
