Brutalaxy by NOMAD X
Old friend and colleague Mick Klein called me out of the blue in spring of 2014. It had been nearly 15 years since we last spoke back in Denver . we had a pretty tough little bar band called Mud-Sofa... it was a conglomeration of electric mud and sofa... two summit county bands from the early days....had a couple weekly gigs Good times. Mick had met a badass drummer getting his masters degree in performance at penn state school of music. his name was kyle haust, i was intrigued. ( i had played with a penn state drummer the great eric saunders back in the mid-nineties while fronting a band called Pluv.) i had twenty five to thirty original compositions that i had just spent the last several years transposing to guitar from harmonica or writing on the guitar and desperately needed a rhythm section. ABBRA-CADABBRA MOJO RIFF BLASTA ...LET THE MUSIC BE YOUR MASTER! i took the mega bus twice a week for six months and the three of us put together Nomad X. sadly mick had to back out after the first year as rehearsal scheduling and work began to clash. kyle and i stayed the course as a two piece confidant that if we continued to write and do the work the right player would find us. fall of 2016 paul skripnik committed to the project it was clear from the git...he was going to add the flavor and validation our compositions needed with his limitless knowledge of composition and multi instrument skill set. these are blues illustrations about THESE times and bout OUR struggle surviving as artists on the run doing whatever we HAVE to do to continue to report to folks some truth through music and poetry. yeah...dig it. compas ascencion!
