DRIFTING
COMPASS is a high-energy rock band made up of Santa Cruz Area
musicians with many years of performance experience. The all-original
rock music is replete with memorable lyrics and catchy hooks,
blending into a unique and hauntingly-familiar style. The individual
performers bring together different styles from their musical
backgrounds to focus on fresh original songs. The result is powerful
and infectious!
Nomad,
also known as Dave Miller, played guitar, sang and wrote most
of the material for the Indiana grunge-rock band Mudhead before
venturing onto the road to perform as a solo artist. His songs
are filled with thought-provoking lyrics and great melodies that
linger in one's head. In late 2005, Nomad decided to expand his
music into a band setting once again and the quest began! Dana
Vincent was recruited to play lead guitar, bringing his instrumental
surf style from local-favorite band Splashback to add a new level
of intensity to the songs. Dan Blake, formerly with the very popular
Zeus and the Lesser Gods, worked his bass guitar magic to add
the perfect groove to the music. Chen Dubrin, with many years
of experience playing with well-known bands like RYZ, Naked Beach,
and Monster Johnson, joined the group to add some of the most
creative and versatile drumming heard anywhere. This four-piece
line-up remained for five years. Because of various reasons and
circumstances, Dana Vincent and Chen Dubrin are no longer members
of Drifting Compass.
Nomad's
music is taken to a new dimension with DRIFTING COMPASS... and
the wheels keep rollin' forward to destinations unknown!!
