This was my high school garage band. I have hours of poor quality recordings from this band in my archive, but I won’t post any of that here unless someone really begs for it. Some of our old concert videos are posted to the Claudia Facebook Page.

In 2001 I worked with Jake Bracken, the band’s bassist, on some digital recordings of our old songs, and some of those recordings turned out pretty well. We called this project “2001: A Claudyssey.” Also that year I started working on a new song with my brother Mark, called “Cyberian Joe.” See my blog post for more info on these recordings.
