Mindseye formed in 2000. Interestingly enough it took over three years to come up with a name for this band. Originally Sector 0, Phantom Hitchiker, Default, Parasite mind, and eventually Mindseye. Finding a singer was even harder ! I started writing riffs on my 4 track and showed Chris Canini. We advertised for a guitarist and singer as we had a base player in mind. Including myself Leigh Madden members at this stage included Chris Canini on drums, Jarrod White on base, Rik Lehmann on guitar ( who answered the add ). We were away ! Writing tunes experimentally. I could honestly say we spent 4 years looking for a singer who could adapt to music already written. Singer after singer after singer ... either couldnt keep up or we had to let go. Eventually after doing an instrumental gig at the German Arms we met Josh. A school teacher, masters degree in liturature. Other job was a bike courier. Josh provided perfect words to our dimentional approach to agressive hard rock. Maintaining this business proved to be difficult. Band members got married. Some had kids growing up fast. Eventually I had a inspirational turning point where a decision was made to dissolve the band. This left band funds in the air. A new demo is currently being recorded and is at " suspended status " till members are alligned again??
