Musically, my 30’s have proven to be about re-inventing myself beyond the supportive role that drummers often fulfill. I've had many great experiences as a drummer, everything from playing in clubs in Worcester (my band once opened for Godsmack at the Lucky Dog), Boston (including Aerosmith's Mama Kins), to having played on a cruise ship for 6 months while living it up on some of the finest beaches in the world.
The beauty of self producing The Vecctones was that I didn't have to answer to nobody. After playing some guitar and bass parts, I would sometimes re-arrange them around before laying down some vocals. I was able to create some things I may have never thought of originally by working this way. I didn't play the drums for these songs, I produced them, along the lines of how rap artists make their beats. Recording the bass and guitar was an adventure to say the least. Stepping up to the plate as a vocalist was just the result of saying, “fuck it!”. It was about challenging myself. In a lot of ways the music was improvised but required much thought, contemplation, and reflection..
The concept behind The Vecctones was to blend rock, blues, jazz, metal, trip hop, etc…, in a way that sounded different from everything it was inspired from. I think I got it... check it out...
