Hey Kids! (from Florida)

[Brian Krashpad]

Hey kids.

I'm Brian from Gainesville, Florida (Go Gators!).

I have a lot of guitars and amps, but then I'm old. ;) Plus, none of them are especially costly or collectible. That's not why I buy things.

I play in three bands. My main band is called Crash Pad. I sing lead (if you call it singing, which at this point you probably should not) and play lead guitar, and have since the band began, in 1996. We do old school punk rock and roll originals, that I write.

I also play guitar in an experimental music/performance art collective called the Bill Perry Orchestra. Bill is an old friend of mine who is also a painter and visual artist.

For the last year and a half I've also played in a traditional Irish/Celtic acoustic music band called O'Reilly & Co. In that band I play banjo and some mandolin, with the occasional backing croakals.

I reckon that's it.

Here's a pic of my electrics, if you're into that sorta thing.
