Mike "Bass" Geren

Bio:

I started playing the bass when I was 17 and two weeks after I picked it up I was in my first band. Mayhem (as it was finally called) lasted more than ten years. We had some originals but mainly copied bands like Ozzy, Maiden, Rush and most of the popular hard rock and heavy metal of the late 70's and early 80's. The next ten years was spent starting a family. I had two wonderful children who spent a lot of time in front of amps in the practice studio. After my divorce, I formed a band called Radiaxe. By this time atleast 50% of the song list was original. But we had to play such greats as Metallica and Megadeth. After Radiaxe, I knew I had to look for just the right band. When I met the members of Jesus Wept I knew I found the best Vegas had to offer. But all good things must come to an end and so did The Wept. I was finally in one more original band called Dark Symphony where the songs flowed out in minutes, we were writing songs as fast as you could play them. Then I joined a band called The Experience: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix.
