Hi dude and dudettes,
My name is Dave Mazerolle. I have been playing guitar since I was 5, and formed a band with a guy named Eric Carr when we were 9 years old. I've always done the opposite of what what my dad says "normal boys" should do. I studied gymnastics for 14 years and hate hockey. I joined a cheerleading team in high school, and drove a motor scooter for 3 years without any interest for having a car.
I have been making noises with my voice and mouth all my life, according to my parents. When I was 14, I started turning those noises into percusion instruments and I am the only one I really know in Saint john that performs as a "beatboxer". The name "Cubical" is my beatboxer alius, given to me from a rapper that I used to make beats for when I started beatboxing. I want to Tattoo the name on my forearm someday soon. I taught myself to drum when I was 17 using the beatbox. I play drums for Mazord, beatbox and play bass in a band called Curbside Prawjek. I also played drums for Cherry, Dmitri, a brief stint with Hospital Grade, and my new 3 piece band called the Nephilim which will be performing soon.
I work at the Regional Hospital as a Registerd Nurse (RN) and I frequently beatbox for my patients that request it, especially if it wil coax them to take their pills
. My fiancee, Farrah is also a nurse that I have been together with since we began nursing school and graduated together last year. We even work on the same medical unit
. We just bought our first home in Red Head, and I was allowed to build a small practice studio downstairs. Since then I have been buying all things musical left,right, and center.
I love nursing, but I am hoping to make a living with music someday. I have 2 cats, and a dog, a neighbor that gets us both drunk quite regularly, and I love to have random people jamming at my house. Matt Benoit told me to come here, I have not closed my internet browser page since I joined this forum. Finally, I have been home off work for 2 months with multiple broken ribs after falling in the bathub the day before my birthday, and i have to go back to work on Feb. 4th. I still had time to record and mix a small, solo EP soon to come out under the name "Meatgrinder", entitled "Beyond our years". I would describe it as a 3-way fist fight between the Deftones, Mastadon, and the Foo Fighters (stylistically speaking).
