I've had the pleasure of working with this talented band. I found the bass player through this web site. We got together to jam for the sake of jamming, and speculation. A peaceful fun loving down to earth person, who's talents and love for music is even greater than my own. We jammed some blues to grab a level playing field between us. He also pointed out some great blues songs that I was unaware of as to play.He is a great contact to say the least. Much to my surprise I get a phone call to maybe do sound for one of his projects. This band downplay. I went to talk to the guitarist from dp at his studio "reel studio" It was soooooo cool he's got all the candy in his candy shop. We got to talking, and I wanted to see him belt out a little on the gitfiddle (guitar)(lol). He did some cool bag-o-tricks kinda riffs that I was trying to put my eyes on the neck of his guitar to see what he was doing, but he was angled in such a way I'd have to sit him down and pick his brain for it,and that wasn't going to happen at that time. With a solid hand shake and a once over on how to work the set up, in just a few days I was off to the gig. I get there thinking what would be the best list to run as a DJ/soundman for these guys (having not heard the band or what they play) I wanted to play somthing that would be the same speed or style of the band. (I didn't like it when I'd hear other DJ's play alot of rap or rapish stuff on the bands break, but much to my surprise they bust out with a ton of the latest and greatest stuff. I never felt more free to play whatever I wanted. The stuff I liked. They are the best sounding band I've worked with to date. I'd also like to say thanks, thanks again. I hope to work with you guys again. You's truly rock! If you're out there, and want to try your hand. I'd say go for it. These guys are every bit of cool AND talented.

I also know the bassplayer for this group Greg Boudreau. I have worked with him and highly recommend him and the qualities as described in the message above!
