will whittenburg - bass player and backing vox
I've been playing bass since the summer of '96. Since then I've played with Travis Groo and Tony Borella in The Undone. We sucked real bad, but it was so much fun.
Travis and I started to punk out on Tony, so we split to form Censer. Willy Bolander and Chris Miller joined us to help create a wide range of punk/sludge/pop-core sounds that came out of our butts.
That seemed to die off for whatever reason, maybe our writing styles clashed. I took up a fill in role with a now broken up band known as Tokyo Magnum with Matt Redding, James Dean, and Tony Borella. But I was replaced by pretty boy Austin White soon enough.
Trav and I eventually hooked up with Jon Gann and Charles Clifton to form The Shinji Ikari. I like this group a lot. I like the way we rock.
I still am dedicated to the shinji, but I've been rockin' with Clifton(nothing to do with Charles Clifton). Josh and Owen Grabo, Kev Woerner(of 238)(now replaced by Tony Borella) make up Clifton. We rock weird like the shinji, but the sound is not even comparable. So my playing style is somewhat diversified.
Some of my all time favorite albums include:
The Valentine's Day comp that Susan made for me!!
Riot Squad - Riot Squad
Missing You Dearly - 238
The two most recent Zao's and probably their first one too
Everybody Else... - Cranberries
CD EP - Pedro The Lion
Ten - Pearl Jam
Some of my favorite bands include:
My Fathers' Mission
Riot Squad
Huntingtons
Zao
Spitfire
Hot Water Music
Sunny Day Real Estate
Mineral
the Cranberries
At The Drive-In
The Juliana Theory
I only wish that I would spend time with God.
