suite oblivion slideshow
From 1997-2003, I played in a rock band with many great musicians from my hometown, Rockford, IL. The band was originally called Patron Smith, but we eventually changed our name to Suite Oblivion in 1999. Suite O' released one album entitled Shine in 2001, and did very well playing all over northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin for many years.
I've been threatening to produce something like this for a long time... and now, finally have. This video/slideshow is set to a medley of original music from the Shine album and features the classic Suite O' line-up of Mitch Brechon (vocals/guitar), Jay Mock (lead guitar/vocals), Christian White (bass/vocals), and me (drums/keys)... circa 2000-2003. Love those guys!
I'd like to thank ALL the great musicians who have contributed their talents to this band over the years!

(A big thanks also to Dan Stogsdill for taking many of the photos used in this video and for slugging it out with us all those years!)

It’s a bummer that your band isn’t together anymore, do you still play gigs in some other facet? The songs are pretty good too, (heard them on the MySpace) did you have a hand in writing them at all? Also, what is it with drummers not wearing shirts? I mean, I understand that you guys are always flailing your arms around and everything, but would a shirt really be THAT cumbersome?
