Using stone tools and whatever washed ashore he began interpreting the great musical works of the mid-eighties. When asked about his first experience in pre-digital music production he said, "I was still in high school back then, but business was really blowing up." Brian's VW bus broke down in Eugene OR, where he played bass and sang in the local power trio Lobe for the next four years. In 1999, anticipating Armageddon upon the new millennium, Brian set out to see the world before it exploded. Disappointed, Brian returned home from a year in Asia and Europe to pursue music making. Swinging from the trees back on Vashon Island, Brian began his contribution to the musical legacy of Cherry Creek, as bass player for the dubious Strugglin' Blues Band. In late 2001 Brian had the pleasure of 'filling in' on bass guitar for Little Big Man. "The next thing we knew, we were really blowing up".
