a little old clock...ticking all the time....
From David:
Long story (mostly) short:
I was lead singer of Detroit’s Junk Monkeys, a sorta seminal alty-rock band that released several albums in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s. Signed to Metal Blade/Warner Bros along with Goo Goo Dolls in the ‘Great Modern Rock Roundup of 1990.’ Put out a handful of albums that were loved among a too-small handful of people. Toured and toured and toured some more.
Stopped for a long list of reasons in 1994.
Started writing songs again last year, and gathered a great band to help me out. The result is the new album, ‘Standard Skies.’
