Playing Music and Gear

Welcome back. It's been way too long.

First- playing music. I have been playing pretty regularly with a few different bands. Thanks to all who have made it out to see us.

I've been playing bass with "The Father" and it's been a blast. We play great cover songs and even update the sound of some of the older ones that make it really fun.

Also on bass, I have played a few shows with "The Entertainment Resistance" recently, and would like to play more often with them. I'm still working on our CD and I hope it will be done soon.

On guitar I've been playing with "The Royal Guard". We are going to Europe, September 23 - October 3, playing all over Estonia. We had a blast last year and can't wait to see everyone again.

I'm not sure what I can say about this next project, but I can say I will be playing drums, it's with a friend I've been playing with for 15 years and it's METAL!

Second- gear, gear and gear. I haven't really been into gear since I was in college, but somehow I'm back. I've been trying out some new guitar gear, and I think I'm gonna change my whole set up. For you gear-heads out there, my guitar rig as of now, consist of a Boss preamp, T.C. Electronic G-Major, Crate Power Block and the Behringer FCB-1010 MIDI Foot Controller. I like this rig but I'm not able to bring it to Estonia, which is not fun. So my friend Richie Castellano showed me the T.C. Electronic NOVA System. He's been using it on the road with Blue Oyster Cult. I played with it, and I like it a lot. It would pretty much replace my whole rig except the Crate Power Block. That seems pretty cool. So hopefully I'll play some shows, so I can buy it before I go to Europe.
I also like the new Steve Morse Music Man guitar.

Thanks for stopping by.
-Andy
