Skander
Weezer-like
Punk Pop Rock
Last
week, I uploaded songs from my first bands...the pre-Celtic years. They are now
available on a compilation CD you can order from my website. To quote a fun phrase...and
now for something completely different.
Skander
was an amazing band that never made it off the ground. We were sort of a combination
of the Presidents of the United States of America, "Wierd" Al Yankovich,
and some classical music. Punk, Ska when ska was in its infancy. We later realized
our name would've been appropriately written....SKAnder.
The
name originated from a cool Sci-Fi story that Johannes introduced and we all voted
on when we were briefly a six-piece.
Months
later, I talked Monte and Johannes (aka James Rimmer http://mp3.com/rimbo?b) to
record a three song demo. It was quite a job. We went into DC Recording in Austin
at 8 am. We had to be done by noon because I was moving to Arizona.
So
we threw around some songs and sadly let the engineer talk us into not recording
one of Johannes' masterpieces, "The Dream". But we did record some great
tunes that I for one am very proud of, including three songs: "Got No Brains...Singing",
"PEZ!", and "Peach Cobbler Pie".
