Paul - a.k.a. "Buck"

Is the initiator / creator of this project. Primarily basing the band genre around pop punk, rock and alternative music. Somehow, he still finds time to continue maintaining the website(s), generating the flyers, arranging shows, contacts, android development, design, construction, modification of the robotics implementation as well as the related programming/controls for Cherry.

Music Background:

Buck has dabbled in music since his pre-teens with some Viola (to 2nd chair), Piano, Keyboard and Guitar training/experience. During his college years in Electronics Engineering, he found himself around many long haired metal heads that were also involved with Electronics. A few rock basics shown to him by a neighbor at that time, launched his interest in Marshall - Tube based distortion. At that time, several drummer friends were available to jam. Since then, a few moves and career choices, landed him in the Seattle area.

Vocal development:

Just prior to 2002, Paul never even sang in the shower. A girlfriend brought him to a Karaoke Bar where singing finally became a inspiration. A specific song was new at the time, "Girl all the bad guys want" by Bowling for Soup (BFS). Plugging in a computer dynamic microphone into his Randall guitar amplifier, he found out he could actually pull it off! That was when he really decided to pursue performing. Soon after, he lost interest in even watching bands with a singer that just sings (including all those TV shows), decides to play guitar at the same time as singing - similar to bands like Green Day and Blink 182. So many karaoke singers have great abilities along with all the TV shows based on karaoke singing only - made him not even want to solely sing in a band himself. Only to decide in combining his guitar experience with his new founded vocal abilities late in life...

Percussion development:

In 2015 Paul began programming a drum pedal for practice. As it became more and more viable, he realized that the inconsistencies with a percussionist (timing/tempo/scheduling/salary) was worth pursuing a reliable alternative, or it was just time to stop performing. Drummers are motivating, fun, loud, and flamboyant but ultimately a good beat with fills, something attractive to look at and always at the practice or gig, could only be realized by an android. With Sarah's blessing, Paul outfitted robotics to maintain the drums for the band....producing what you see today.
