Mic Pain

20+ years ago, before there was Scar After Scar or Uvula, there was me in a room with a bunch of equipment I didn't know how to use. The result of that is Swerve For the Girl. Despite all it's flaws -- my crappy playing, producing, and singing -- these are some pretty cool little alternative/punk songs. Now, in addition to tearing up the punk clubs in the Pacific Northwest with my band, Uvula, I record, mix, and master analog sound of all types -- punk, rock, metal, alternative, indie, jazz, big band, orchestra, chorale, duets, quartets, etc. My goal is always to showcase the performance. I want to bring the performance to life in the most compelling way and strip all the unnecessary BS out of it. Think more Steve Albini and less Butch Vig, although I love them both. To date, I have recorded, mixed, and mastered over 60 albums and countless singles, and live sessions. Influences: Those before me who have elevated sucking to an art form...
