Alice and the Cooper gang
This band had and has lots of potential. I had a good time.

Sator Square
I was in Sator Square as bassist from about 2005 through 2007 Here is the introduction to the band…
Sator Square is is a band of musicians that like our metal a little on the dark side. Until our first release takes wing, you can listen to some of our tunes from our MySpace site at http://www.myspace.com/satorsquare. The band formed in 2003 in Spring Valley, CA and we all live in the San Diego area. Just doing what we like best. Most people think our music sounds like a horror movie soundtrack. We love our friends in San Diego and on Myspace, so it is high time to let the experiment out of the cage. You might call it controlled insanity…
I guess the album didn’t take wing. Not enough shows I guess. You gotta go on tour…

The Monsters of Rock is the ultimate tribute to Heavy Metal music. It is also what became of Wolfgaard after we found Ron Lerma (vocals) and lost AJ Von Wolfe (drummer).

Tom was the drummer for San Diego bands, Cynical Man and Malady which later became Benedictum.

The Druids would have accepted Roman rule had it not been for their foreign gods. They would not relinquish the worship of their own elemental forces of nature, so they joined together to form an avenging avatar of power. The WolfGaard, summoned by ancient magic, created to stop the encroaching Roman influence before it reached the druidic heartland of Hibernia…
Band Names that Didn’t Make it
Wolfgaard
Wolfgaard was started as a challenge to get back my bass chops after a hiatus of about 17 years. AJ von Wolfe approached me about doing some jamming so I called Gavin O’Hara and he was up for it. It was a good time but we never played out. We did covers and some originals. Continue reading
