This list is pretty scary . . .

Wayne Dibble and The Purple Hell Slime (On lead vocals! Six full-length recordings! Oh to be in high school and have mucho free time again.)
Foul Play
the "lost years" away from the stage (Sharkass, Gamera Blues Band, Goatload)
Atropine
Tyrant/Adam Smash and the Radiation Nation (pretty darn similar bands)
The Jedi Herdsmen
The Hitmen
Hair Force One

Plus a whole horde of studio and fill-in work.

Interesting note: The Vizitor name may be partially my fault. Tyrant-mate Todd Hill and I played in an early version of that project, and we suggested that since it was a rock band, it might be cooler to misspell the name. Man, I hope none of our recordings made that compilation. Carpal tunnel got me, and I was literally playing wearing a brace. :cry:

The Ted Baxter Experience
Midnight Graffiti
Ribbon Grass (currently)
& sit in with The Dave Single Trio too.

From the lengthy lists on here, I feel lucky to have been in only 3 bands in 10 years. Switching members and bands can be a difficult time-sucking situation if you are a weekend warrior.
