11Dec04 - Tribe is still in song writing mode. I have recorded
3 demos so far that we are working with. I have a couple more I need to
get recorded and am working on the drum patterns to get those recorded.
Still deciding what the future line up will be, but we are leaning towards
staying a 4 piece.
Something kind of cool may get my mark. Blake Faucette from Series DVD
(the people that made the promos and our future DVD) liked the instrumental
piece I wrote as a Tribe intro (and is used on Tribe Promo 2 and is interested
in me doing some instrumental stuff for his independent movies. He is
working on a Vampire flick and is going to get in touch with me in the
near future about it.

- 'Dimebag'
Darrell Abbott (ex-Pantera/DamagePlan guitarist) was fatally shot while
performing in a club in Ohio. It will always be remembered as a dark day
in the history of metal, but Darrell will always be remember as an innovater
and one of the greatest metal guitar players of all time.
27Nov04 - After months and months of thinking about it and procrastination,
I have finally finished the Aittala.com makeover. I am still in the process
of minor tweaks and changes, but for the most part it is done. I have
new added new pics from this year playing with Tribe along with a new
video clip section. I currently have a couple clips from MagnetHead and
one from Tribe. In the near future I will be adding more Tribe clips and
93-era Aittala from performances taped in Holland.
There have been lots of changes in Tribe. In September, Roger (bass) departed
and was replaced with Matt. This month, Mike (guitar) has also departed.
Currently, we are writing new material and deciding if we will stay a
four piece or find another guitar player. Tribe will be back in 2005 even
better than before.
15May04 - My thanks to Mary for having insomnia and experimenting
with my logo...this is to many more sleepless nights ;-)
09May04 - Things have been extremely busy
with Tribe. We played almost every weekend in April. So between
playing and rehearsal, it's a little hard to get anything else accomplished.
We are actually going to be working in a few Aittala songs into the set.
We should start working on 'To Know the Man' this week. It may or
may not work live, but we won't know until we try it. Other possibilities
are 'Evil', 'Eternal Punishment' and 'How Much Longer'.
03Mar04 - Installed a new guestbook and manually
transferred over all of the entries.
25Feb04
- As you can see, it has been awhile since I've done any updates,
but alot was going on and I was waiting to see what was going to happen
after the smoke cleared before I posted an update. First of all,
I am no longer with MagnetHead. The split was really a long
time coming and amicable. Basically it came down to musical differences
and musical direction. I really didn't have a say in the music and
I couldn't play in a band that didn't show the Aittala influence in the
music.
But, with that said, I am happy to say I am the newest member of the Raleigh
area band Tribe. Tribe's style and the style of Aittala are in the
same vein. The guys in the band are very cool and open to new ideas.
I am stoked they are into keyboards and I will be playing guitar, keys
and singing backup. This is just a very good fit and I am very happy
and excited about the future possibilities. Check out our
