Isn't It Nice? (2007/2009)
Isn't It Nice? is a music project featuring Brian Olin on guitar, his friend Kevin on bass and me on drums. We recorded a demo of instrumental songs during our rehearsals at The Sweatshop in Brooklyn around November 2007. There were some pretty cool tunes but for some reason the project didn't last too long.
Several years later, Brian and I jammed again a few times. On November 14, 2009, we performed our one and only live show at a kaiju "monster party" in Journal City, NJ. We were hired to play music like the creatures themselves were making the noises. It was a pretty wild time! (see footage below)

Bleeding Cactus (Feb 2007)
Bleeding Cactus was a music project I did with Erik Zambrano, a director/playwright I knew from college. I also worked on several theater productions with Erik such as She Stood Here and Looked There, The Adventures of Wilemina, and Marilyn Monroe. Some of the songs we did were used in the plays. I think these tracks were recorded in February 2007, but I could be mistaken on the month. This "E.P." was dedicated to our friend who had recently moved back to Canada.
Tracklist: Jen's Song - Echo the Dolphin - Fornication - Jen's Song Part Deux - Gibberish (Song #5) ![]()

Beef Labia (2005-2007)
After I graduated college, I was really trying to start my own band. In addition to writing my solo material, I recruited some of my neighborhood friends to form Beef Labia. We recorded a bunch of demos but nothing ever really materialized. A few of our "members" played one live show, at a school talent show. Here's a few songs we wrote:
