About Me |
|
| Welcome to myspace.com/kirkvanloon Libra-ox Performing percussionist with history in Metro Detroit/Ann Arbor, Mi area, and the San Francisco Bay Area, Ca. over the course of, lo, these many years. Though an experienced drummer, I shine best within a tight knit group of professional musicians. This is a link to my current band, "The Bottom 99" Following is a list of all of my previous bands: (With the exception of pick-up jam bands.) A2 (A Squared) Tourrette's Syndrome The Stupid Fuckin' Idiots The Aborted Popes The Lunatics The Wannabe Texans The 12-Year-Olds Proj Plastic Sun The Undergarments The Bottom 99 My experience will be explained as the worm turns. UP AND COMING: Summoning my percussive, lyrical, and vocal gifts with other talent. Networking is key. Thanks to Ryan Burkhart for his inspiration and motivation! |
