Blue Juice

Posted on Dec 1, 2004 in Side Projects

Formed in late 2004, Blue Juice (there is some controversy on how this was to be spelled) was a short lived project. The lineup consisted of myself on lead electric guitar, Dave Daley on rhythm acoustic guitar and vocals and Kereen Wardle on bass guitar and backing vocals. The music for the songs was for the most part made of guitar and bass compositions I had been working on at the time but had...

Occasionally Paul Reed would play bass with us. We played mostly original death metal songs and Misfits covers. There are a few surviving cassette tapes from these sessions, although most of the recordings have become hard to make...
