Setting the mood in a way most rock bands wouldn't...

World of Make Believe
Who hasn’t sat back a day dreamed about getting away from it all. Leaving it all behind and kicking back on a warm beach with a cold drink on some far away island…only to be brutally ripped out of that day dream and reminded of the real world going on around you. Reality sucks.

Asshole
Do you have that one person at work that you just can't stand? Just looking at them makes you want to rip their head off and force feed it to their grandmother? In this song we'll calmly discuss three of these people: The Brown Noser (aka Assistant Manager), The Office Gossip, and The Inept Moron. My biggest goal with this song is to see someone actually marching around their office singing this at the top of their lungs.

Hey Little Goth Girl
Where I live, a lot of goth kids come from rich dotcom families. And, while they wear black and look depressed all the time, they also drive BMWs and listen to Nine Inch Nails on their zillion dollar stereo systems. Which begs the question. WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY SO DEPRESSED ABOUT? In looking for a protagonist for the song, I was trying to think of who would totally not understand the goth scene. That would have to be a Dixieland Jazz player, with his striped shirt, straw hat, and happy little songs. So he asks, and tries to identify with the poor girl at the same time by musically "speaking her language".

Share My Pixie Dust
Sometimes you fall in love with someone you weren't expecting to.  Maybe you wanted "rich and stable" and got "musician" instead. Relationships like that take faith, trust... and a little pixie dust.

Two Of Me
What happens when a guy with split personalities falls in love with a girl? Well, when one personality is a super nice guy and the other is a homicidal maniac, things can get pretty messy.

Horizontal Tango
So many women have the fantasy of the exotic, tall, dark, Spanish lover. He's romantic, always out to satisfy your needs. Well, let's shatter that little image, shall we? Juan, or Domingo, or Zorro, or whatever the hell his name is, is a dysfunctional pervert like every other guy. He wants to cover you in whipped cream and get a BJ. And sometimes he might come too soon. But he'll do it all to a Disco beat, baby.

LCW
Everyone knows that one girl. The heartbreaker. Behind her she leaves a trail of shattered hearts and bitter words. It's about time someone called her out for what she really is. Ladies, this can go for the guys too. But for obvious reasons, I sang about a girl.

Hella Good Day
I was having a terrible day (read: week) and I got to thinking about what would make my perfect day.  And this song lays it out.  I don't expect you to relate to every lyric since it's personal to me.  But I hope it will make you think about what your perfect day would be like, and do your best to attain it.

What Santa Wants
A tale of alcohol, drugs, firearms, prostitutes, and Santa Claus. Fun for the whole family. This song got us banned from performing at San Jose's Christmas in the Park ever again.

Afrodizzyac
This is the true story (no, really!) of an international super-spy, Afrodizzyac (known for his fantabulous hair and love of the ladies), and his ongoing battle to thwart his arch nemesis Left Nut's plans to kidnap and make sweet sweet love to every woman in the world.  You won't be seeing this story on CNN. Too hush hush...

Brown Ring Around The Collar
There's a terrible disease that afflicts most of our society.  It's gone unchecked for too many years and we've decided to shine the light on it in hopes of helping others.  That disease is called "Stupid".  And it's rampant.  We're not talking ignorance.  That can be fixed with education.  We're talking downright dumbasses who shouldn't be allowed to breed.

Rumpalicious Booty Shaker
This song is about that night club that you always hear about, but no one you know has ever been too. A seedy place where the beats pump hard and the dance floor is full of sweaty, horny people. A place where the darkest corners hold the naughtiest vices of the flesh. And, at the door, is our protagonist inviting you in for the time of your life. Will you go?
Audio Clip | Full Song Stream

Whale Blubber
This song was inspired by a single line in the Jim Carrey film, Me, Myself and Irene in which the characters have a somewhat ridiculous, yet serious, conversation about commitment. The original version from "Ribbed For Your Pleasure" was set as an 80's power ballad. We decided to do something a lot different with it for this show.

Ribbed For Your Pleasure - CD
"Ribbed For Your Pleasure"
This groundbreaking CD careens wildy from one style to the next encompassing flavors of funk, Latin, bluegrass, and more.  In writing these songs I was equally at home with serious issues of struggling through life on a path I wasn't sure about, to indulging my sense of humor for the first time in songs about homocidal schizos in the love and co-dependent rednecks.  $15

Brand New World
As a person who often has trouble dealing with change, this song was written as a lesson to myself, if not others, about making the best of that change. It’s about not looking back, but looking forward and knowing that you have to go on and you can’t give up.

Special Ways
You’re at bar one evening when suddenly a voice comes up from behind you and promises you pleasures you’ve never even dreamed of. The smooth subtle voice, quiet though it is, drowns out every other sound in the room. You don’t look at the person, but your mind races at the possibilities presented to you.

Judgment Day
Most people think that Judgment Day happens when you die. The fact is, everyday is Judgment Day. Everyday someone looks at you and makes a decision about how they’ll treat you. And when you find someone who truly comes to you with an open mind and appreciates you for who you are and expects nothing more, it’s a rare and joyous occasion.

Whale Blubber
This song was inspired by a single line in the Jim Carrey film, Me, Myself and Irene in which the characters have a somewhat ridiculous, yet serious, conversation about commitment. It seemed to me the best way to enhance the idea was to set it as an overly serious 80’s style power ballad. Oh so dramatic, yet ridiculous at the same time.

Two Of Me
What happens when a guy with split personalities falls in love with a girl? Well, when one personality is a super nice guy and the other is a homicidal maniac, things can get pretty messy.

Chasing The Sun
This song is about chasing after a seemingly unreachable goal and coming so close before stumbling and having to start again. If you really believe in it, you’ll keep chasing it and you’ll find a way to attain it.

Underground
This song is my personal dig at the whole rap-core scene in my area that tends to exclude a lot of artists as simply "not heavy enough". It’s a song about broken promises, unreturned favors, and those who don’t have the guts to do something unique.
Audio Clip | Full Song Stream

Hillbilly Love
A love song about co-dependent rednecks. She can do all kinds of mean things to him and he’ll love her anyway, but there’s just one thing that he can’t stand. That one thing is definite grounds for dismissal.

A Nut Unbroken - CD
"A Nut Unbroken"
The result of a 3-day music bender, hunched over my recording gear, nary taking a break for food or sleep.  The title comes from the idea that, though I'm usually considered a nut and a little broken, I became unbroken for just long enough to write and record these songs that are a snapshot of my life from those 3 days.  $5

Dead City Support Club
Every artist has played an off night show when nobody but the bartender applauds, because there's nobody else there. And yet everyone, the soundman, the bartenders, the bands, do their job because they love what they do and want more than anything to entertain someone.

Blue Collar Anthem
Sometimes those old songs that you love so much lose their ability to bring you back up when you're down. And for a bit you're resigned to your place in the universe, mundane as it might be. We always hope it's just a passing phase though.

Do It Again
I wrote this for a film called "Stupid Cupid". It's about two co-workers on their first date. Things are going terribly wrong and he's just hoping they get to a second date.

Zing Zing
Just jammin' the night away. I spent all that time getting a college degree in jazz. I figured I should use it for something.
