"Assassin" Drill Demos 1994
http://www.emersonswinford.com
As I remember... I met Wayne and Ken through our mutual friend P.J. Olsson (a talented singer, songwriter, producer and my roommate in L.A.) I was back visiting my family in Chicago, probably the winter of '93. I went down to see a band that Wayne and Ken were in at that time. I liked the band but knew Wayne and Ken were the standout talents. We hung out a bit that winter and I said "well if you ever make it to L.A. I'll start a band with you guys." They must have already had moving on their minds because they arrived at my and P.J.'s apartment a few months later! I was working a day job at Ticketmaster in the call center and convinced Ken to apply there. I already knew Tony Campos, who also worked there. We jammed with Tony and it was clear he was perfect for the band. That was early 1994. We did a few demo recordings, one on a Tascam 4-track in our rehearsal space and then this one in a real studio. We did some shows too. Coconut Teaser, The Whiskey, Club Lingerie, and probably others. It was tough, challenging and fun at times. Typical of any band trying to "make it." At some point, I decided maybe this wasn't exactly for me. I loved the guys and heavy music but guess felt there were other things I wanted to do. I remember calling Wayne to tell him I was out, it was difficult for me and probably a shock to him, Ken, and Tony. They soldiered on, found a new guitarist (Koichi) renamed themselves Static X. They had a long successful career, and still touring today. I've had a long career too, working in many different genres and aspects of the music biz, currently a studio and touring guitarist with Sir Rod Stewart.
