MAKING MUSIC OVER THE YEARS
LLAMA (2005 - Present) Small-scale angular middle-aged post-punk catharsis. Jim Hunnicutt, Scott Sutherland and I traverse the cold tundra between new wave and beer. Fueled by a sense of mortality, these songs seem to be distinctly saying; "NO." Below are some tunes we recorded with Johnny Sangster and Kurt Bloch between 2005 and 2007 at Chromasound Studio in Seattle. Ed Brooks, mastering engineer.
Love (2005)
Alright (2005)
The End (2005)
Right Now (2005)
New Car (2005)
Invisible (2005)
It's OK (2005)
I Want to Be There (2005)
Smokers (2007)
Get The Car (2007)

SOLO RECORDINGS (1999 - Present) So low music. This is the stuff that probably suffers most from my natural impatience and therefore exposes my weaknesses as a musician and singer. But that doesn't bother me. If it bothers you, stay away from these songs. Some of these were recorded by Kurt Bloch, but most were recorded by me at home. The super talented Anne Marie Ruljancich plays violin and cello on all of the tunes recorded by Kurt Bloch at Egg Studios in 1999.

FLOP (1990 - 1995) "By 1992, grunge had been exported from Seattle to the department stores of America's malls, and the pop-punk buried beneath the city's fuzz pedals finally found room to shine forth. Among others (notably the long-lived, crucial Fastbacks), Flop exploded with noise-pop, sporting a mod-influenced edge, loud, sunny guitars and bittersweet underpinnings. Produced by Kurt Bloch, Flop & the Fall of the Mopsqueezer! is one of the '90s' finest debuts." - Trouser Press

PURE JOY (1986 - 2003) Although we continued to play for nearly two decades after forming, Pure Joy's relevance was at it's peak during the 1980s. A naive cast of disaffected suburban youths trying to imitate our heros, we eventually stumbled upon our own sound and were lucky enough to be in a position where we could make and release records with some semblance of regularity. The core of the band was always really Lisa King on bass, Jim Hunnicutt on drums and me on guitar and vocals. People came and went, but I'm not sure if we really maintained the certain magic we once posessed.
