Drums / Percussion

Well, when it comes to writing a biography about your band, it is usually nice to say that you were there when the whole thing started. Well, I wasn't there when the whole thing started, and I am not going to waste precious bio space making funny Grant jokes...... Or maybe....nah. Anyway, I guess I could start with a little "brief synopsis" of my background. I have been a student of the drum since I was about 7 years old. I started playing on Uncle Ray's drums, since he had them set up at our house. He was actually the reason that I got into drums. I did not actually get my own set of drums until i was in 10th grade. However, by the time i got them, I already knew exactly what to do with them. I sold them and went on a ski trip. Then I got a new drum set that was expensive and nice. I wasn't sure what to do with these new drums, so as you can guess, I still have all of them. I spent more money on beefin em up, and now they create the spine of our music (click songs link to hear our cool songs!!!). Even though Grant and I have been brothers since like 8th grade, I was only recently dragged into this project kicking and screaming and flailing my arms. Now that I am over my temper tantrum, within the four months that I have been involved, we have managed to cut a 1/2 length demo LP with Andy Machin at Big Rock Studios.

This is the biggest accomplishment I have record of...(I must emphasize this "I have record of" statement...). The biggest challenge that I have had to face these past four months is winding to Mickie's simple straightforward style of music. I grew up playing to Tool, Incubus, Rush, The Who, Terry Bozzio, (insert name of gnarly drummer band here). Basically, if i were to lay my drum style (uncut) right over mickie, you could call it overplaying! So, I have had to settle it down, and let the music come through me in a fashion that keeps the jazz rythym alive, and still cries 'Simplicity' in a flurry of notes. I truly hope you all enjoy our music. please visit our songs page and listen to them whenever you like.... Namaste.... Bow Archer
(for those of you who don't know the meaning of the word "Namaste", it means I honor the divine within you, that is also within me...)
