Discography - Blue Tattoo

"Logan County EP" available for free download at http://www.bluetattoonews.com.

Blue Tattoo is where Derek is presently focusing his efforts as a musician. He plays guitar and sings (half of the time) in the band. To date, they have only recorded a four-song EP, titled "The Logan County EP." Derek is excited about their coming work and is proud of the stuff the band is producing.

Says Derek: "I like this band because it allows me to do some things I can't do as a solo musician. It pushes me in different directions--some that I like more than others--and makes me push myself harder than I would if I were writing just for my own satisfaction. I like having other people hear and question my writing...and these guys do that. A lot. Sometimes to a fault (laughs)!

Mostly, I'm just glad to still be writing and playing music with my brother, Dave. We're the only two people in the world who see life the way we do, and I really like forcing that on others. We work pretty well together. We make good co-leaders. I handle most of the music-direction (though Dave writes lyrics and has first call on vetos and whatnot) and Dave handles the attitude of the group. It's a good balance.

The EP is good. Sean Russell (friend of the drummer and well liked by the other guys, too) recorded/engineered it for us. It's not really focused. It tries to show off all sides of us, but only has four songs in which to do that. We're hoping to make a proper record sooner or later, and when we do, I'll write something more detailed...but for now, I think this will do."
