Bands
ChancellorErik is a member of the following bands:
I'm Erik Schmokel. I'm 18 and live in the middle of nowhere, Vermont. I am in no way a hippy or a redneck (90% of Vermont's population is). I am in all ways a rocker. I've been playing drums for...7 years? A long time anyway. Neil Peart is god. Mike Portnoy is Jesus. I've been playing guitar for two years now, it's fun but I'm no prefessional guitarist. I play in three local bands, My Rationale (mostly prog rock), First Odyssey (More classic and acoustic rock with Brian Watson, Callan Roberts, and Zac Wunrow), and my acoustic duo Getting By (Me and Brian).
