Bored? Take a listen to my old band....

[Spec A!]

So as some of you know, I'm in the process of archiving all my old band's audio and video recordings and throwing them online. I've finally gotten around to getting most of the audio up there and figured many of you, like me, need something new and fun to listen to. And the fact that we were HEAVILY inspired by The Police certainly makes it more interesting!! (side note- let's see how many of you can guess which Police songs I used some of Stewart's phrasing on in my compositions!!).

Feel free to browse the rest of the site too, but to access the band stuff, go to
www.eatonlife.com click on Anthony, click on Wisermind (off to the left) and then under songs, click to listen.

Some of the links may not work- I will fix it when I get home. But there's a good amount up there to last you the rest of your work day! Enjoy.

umm, FFS Anthony you really rock, sir...those are some of the best Police covers I've heard...arrow through my heart with my fave live track, Driven to Tears <grin>

[BongoBoy]

As usual, tight groove, nice work.

I like your "splash" work...I kinda do that too, way cool!

Cheers and Thanks for sharing.

[blueboy]

Very nice drum work!

(..and I'm pretty picky with handing out compliments)

[Spec A!]

Thanks guys (and gal)! I can't wait to fix and add more, I love sharing this stuff.

Gina- FFS? I think I know what it means but I wanna hear (see) you say it.

[GinaSuperCat]

Just remember, I try to censor my sailor's mouth here but I'm being incited to say: "for fuck's sake!" <grin>

[Spec A!]

Ha! that's what I thought.

You kiss your mother with that mouth? Hahahahah! Don't feel bad, I try to be good on here too. Sorry to make you swear. :p

[GinaSuperCat]

laff, you should hear the two of us (mom and I) dish <grin>...ok back to trying to be good!

[DirtyMartini]

Swe-heeeet, Spec. You've really got talent.

Any way for you to get your fave bass player to move out your way?

[Spec A!]

I seriously wish- he's got major love life issues that has him possibly marrying this girl he was in love with, broke up and moved over seas, and now he may marry her to get citizenship in Austria to be with her.... If that doesn't work he says he may move to Austrailia (because apparently moving to the other side of the planet would be the right thing to do?). Anyways- I'm trying to get the boys to visit just so we can play a few gigs I can line up here at a moments notice. I doubt Joe would ever move here permanently tho.

Sniff Sniff...

[DirtyMartini]

Wow. Sounds like Joe's got some issues ahead.

Sorry, A. I know how you like working with him.

Unlike you kids, I'm *not* to polite not to curse, so if you'd like me to throw in some profanity for you, it'd be my pleasure.

I'm gonna be both a jerk.. and lame.. and say listen to my old band here, "The Pax Romana."

http://www.myspace.com/thepaxromana

If you like The Doors, you'll like this (I think?).

Plus my drummer is obsessed with Stewart Copeland (and Brad Wilk).

[GinaSuperCat]

Groovy with an edge, Blue!....Hey, what part play you (I get you're not the drummer)...

[DirtyMartini]

Ooooh, nice. Interesting mix, Blue. Like The Doors meets Ministry meets The Chili Peppers with a splash of The Ventures?

(As someone who just today finished a class on Augustan Rome, I'm just about pissing my pants hearing your singer yell "Octavian!" Or is it "ROCKtavian"?!?)

And you're neither lame nor a jerk. Lots of talent onboard. Bring it on!

[blueseattle]

Thanks a lot guys! Yeah, I was a frontman for the band. That's awesome you mentioned those comparisons as they're all influences on us, or were.

I'm glad I showed you guys then. We're actually having our own little reunion tomorrow before everyone starts leaving town. A nice four hour block to jam on old songs. It'll be great!

And yes, it's Octavian! Haha. I was obsessed with Roman history at the time and the album we made, Force Majeure, tries to correlate events with the late Roman time periods to the US. Yeah, I'm a stupid history dork--then again it's my second major, so I thought I'd use it somehow!
