Bryan Croad

Bryan plays the 8-String N/S Stick Guitar-Bass with Audio Underground, he also plays a Conklin 8-String Guitar and a Novax 8-String Guitar.  Bryan plays and writes all styles of music; jazz, classical, latin, funk, rock, tap acoustic, whatever.  Audio Underground is one of the most fun musical projects he does without a doubt. The details of my life are quite inconsequential ... However, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. If I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reads. Pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received me first scribe. At the age of fifteen, as a Zoroastrian named Vilma I ritualistically shaved me testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum I suggest you try it. At the age of eighteen I went off to evil medical school.
