The Deadpan Bassist in the Eye of the Rock and Roll Storm
Bassist. Stoic. Keeper of the low end.
I’ve spent my life in the background, letting the noise happen around me. Bass, after all, is more felt than heard. I’ve seen drummers combust, Stonehenge shrink, and audiences scream at nothing in particular. I simply adjust my stance, tune up, and keep the beat. There’s a kind of peace in that.
What I'm Into: tight trousers, philosophical pauses, Spinal Tap trivia, low-end frequencies, cucumber logistics
