So I am 100% back in the music game. I know 3 years and finally I'm back. Well the long and short of it is, when VG split up, I did try to salvage what was left and start a new but the guys had other plans with life and I was left to do my own thing. Now Far Below Perfect is not dead or over in any shape. I just put it back on the shelf and hope I can get back to it later. A big issue with getting back to music for me was the timing. I was in school in a demanding music program mostly because I also have a job that can be hellish at times. My biggest fear with this was I'd hold a band back. I'm a great bassist and it came from years of practice and training myself (still have a lot to learn) but one thing I couldn't live with was knowing that I held people back because of my life. So for 2 years,i wrote little riffs here and there and a couple of lines for songs but didn't put myself into as much as I wanted or could. I did take a sit in gig once and of course I've been playing for school but it's not the same as playing for yourself. On my last semester of college and I wasn't too sure as to what I was going to do in December. I did want a band and a new job before school ended but once again timing. Then one day I just said to hell with all of this and went hunting for a band. Found Carbonine and at the same time applied to a much higher paying job and say back to see who would answer first. As hard as that was for me to do, I had to come up with something. Finally I got an email from Ian and after a month of courting and talking and seeing them play twice, I got my audition (which felt more like a job interview) and floored them with my passion, pleasure, and overall excitement for playing. The next day with out any second thought they let me into the band. Now I'm just bideing my time. December is the end of the semester and start towards a new chapter. There are a lot of things in the mix. Studio, already got to meet Eddie Trunk (metal heads rejoice!) and the biggest thing, a tour...maybe 2 at he beginning of next year. So yeah I'm praying for December and to see what next year brings.

I'll be more active once school is down. Until then check us out. Hard rock isn't that hard to listen to ;3
