Stated Purpose

I am an unsigned musician who lives and works in New York City. I have a corporate day job and two bands. One is a theatrical 80's Metal band while the other is Indie Rock. I love playing in both bands and wouldn't give up either.

I have found while playing in two bands that are in many ways very different, a lot of the issues, dramas and aspirations are the same. We are playing in the same field, although for slightly different teams.

I have found this experience pretty interesting and decided to document, mostly for myself and anyone who may stumble upon this, the experiences of the unsigned musician and the balance between trying to "make it" and to just survive in a very unforgiving city.
