Was a part of the Indy scene in the late '80s, early '90s. Spent way too many weekends in Broad Ripple. Saw a ton of great shows. Went to IU then moved out west in 1994 and have lived in Colorado ever since. I'm married and have two children. In the education field and have been for the last 12 years. I'm in a band our here, it's kind of a distorted country thing that we are calling The Salt Walthers. The demo is right here on MFT in the MP3 section.
Northern Colorado's third best country grunge band now have a MySpace page, click here to check it out. The band is writing new material and hopes to find a cheap studio to record in soon. If we ever get any shows, we will put that on the our MySpace page.
Well we finally chose a band name. It is official, we are now The Salt Walthers. Yes, the name comes from the world of racing. You'll have to figure out the rest. Thanks for the ideas and thanks for the support. The songs from our demo are now available on the MP3 Archive. Enjoy.
The day of the LakeSpeed release is finally here!!!! I waited all night in line at the Wooden Nickel record store to buy it.

Sounds good...."Bottleneck" is my favorite so far.
LakeSpeed, Northern Colorado's third best lo-fi, country grunge, 'trailer-core' band, named after a former Nascar racer, (the others of course are Dick and the Trickles and/or Thee Harry Gants) are headed to the studio next month for a "live" demo. I guess the ones we recorded in our basement are not "live". Anyway, the one track version of "Broken String" posted here will be redone along with 4 more songs to create an EP of sorts. When finished they will be on this page if we like them. If we don't, no one will have to suffer. After that the plan is to record a "real" demo EP, with multi-tracking and everything. Oh this'll be good.
I'm all for MFT and the artists both making some money whether it's NP or not. I'm glad there is another way of getting us out there.
If I would have sold an album in the 80s, I remember most little labels and artists would be happy to sell their t…
PJ- I thought of that too! I could use a new Ping hat.
We aren't too far down the road of the NP thing to turn back. But John is right, if we can find a way to funnel money to artists then I'm all about having MFT make some of that transaction. It…
