a history, in brief

per the request of a few fans, I've decided to narrate a bit of a back story to the becoming of centercourse.

some of you may or may not know that ben and I have been making music together for years, and actually started out in a classic rock band in colorado. i had led this little band for a few years when my drummer flaked out on a gig we had coming up in a few days. strapped with no drummer i was sitting in jazz band [high school days] listening to ben rock his **** out and asked him if he might want to play with us in greeley that weekend. he quickly obliged and even agreed to a couple ridiculous rehearsals which entailed learning 4 hours of music we'd been playing for years.

gig time came and ben cracked it wide open, and had a blast doing it too. the rest of the band welcomed the wry comedic perspective of a younger hungrier drummer and the rest is history... well it's all history, technically. because the only thing happening is now... which isn't now anymore. now it's then. hmm.

uhhh, but from there, we all went to college and I moved across the country and while other members moved on to marriage and other avenues of life ben and I kept in touh and developed a distinct passion for really glitchy electronic music. four years and many phone conversations later we moved to vegas and began composing. while vegas was a rather stagnant 6 months career-wise, we wrote some really dope shit. [one track of which i am mixing now featuring the incomparable joanna stevens, which you can all hear soon]

so now we live in LA in mansions fighting off retard-strength-paparazzi and mega-ton-hot-bitches. well we're workin on it anyways.

stay up,
