The Story:
In October '94 I got off the streets and moved back in with my parents. I was quickly kicked out again. I slept in my car for a week then settled into my first apartment.
During the winter of '94 I taught myself guitar but became frustrated with the entrapment of the conversative town where I'd grown up. I found it challenging to think outside the box when many of my friends couldn't think outside the county line. Music kept me busy. HEAVY MACHINERY turned out to be a much different album than my first two. I was into Hole at the time and this influenced my writing.
After HEAVY MACHINERY was completed I decided it was time to leave Fredonia. I moved to Buffalo and quickly immersed myself in the open-mic and club circuits. I was another young kid in exile from a small town- chasing big dreams in a city.
