Exempli Gratia (2002-2007)
This was probably the best chance at doing something pretty good musically. I sang with Ian on guitar, Morgan on bass, and Mark on drums. We sang about politics, mostly. Also, the songwriters in the group focused on making interesting music more than about making nice music. I probably should have spent more time promoting our band and getting us shows. We probably could have worked harder to make our punk house more productive. I suppose I could have not decided to get a "real job" and therefore greatly limit our opportunity to work on this project. We probably did okay with what we had, though.
