The Secret Codes Full Band


Golly gosh it's been a long time and so much has happened. Secret Codes is now a full band though still missing a second guitarist. The band now includes Ian Ferguson on Trumpet/Rhodes/synthesizers/vocals, David Kyle on Vocals/guitar/taishokoto, Austin Amstutz on Bass, Jason Drost on drums, and Jessica Wright on flute/sax/vocals.

I have been very lucky in finding the perfect people to join this project and am working with a group of amazing musicians and artists. All the songs have been rewritten to be played live without any electronic elements. Its sounding really incredible and every practice puts a huge smile on my face.

We have been working hard to get the songs ready and now finally have 6 songs down. We will be performing our first show on Jan. 5th here in Portland, Oregon at the Woods where we will be joined by Mia Riddle from NYC and Themes from Portland. We go on at 9pm sharp so be sure to get there a little early.

I can't say much about our plans as a band yet, but am hoping for typical band stuff in the near future like a record, more shows, touring, etc. We are also still looking for a second guitar player. She or he would hopefully be able to play keys and sing or possibly some other instrument like horns or violin. If you know anybody who might be interested in trying out please direct them to www.myspace.com/secretcodesmusic

Ok hope to see everyone soon and I may start posting some tracks and videos on here soon.
