Alex Atchley Experience

From Bossies

ABOUT

The Alex Atchley Experience is the work of theshizz.org member "the Wozz." He pulls inspiration from many different artists such as They Might Be Giants, Rush, Atom and His Package, Descendants, Dio, I Hate You When You're Pregnant, Chromelodeon and Coheed and Cambria (Yeah, so? Wanna fight about it?!?!). The live set up is simple. Alex sings, the computer plays the backing tracks that he made with various sequencing software. Other back up members have included Shayne Lechelt (back up singing, dancing, keyboard, brass), Tyler Schultz (pummeling) , housethegrate (guitar), and Michael Dufault (guitar). He has been writing music since 2001 and performing since 2004.

DISCOGRAPHY

PAWESOME - The first CD. Recorded in 45 minutes for the price of $35 and a chicken sandwich on the day before the first AAE show. Most songs did not have fully realized lyrics, and many of the vocal tracks have phrases uttered that sound like real lyrics, but are in fact jibberish. The material included dance tracks made with Acid Pro and midi songs written in Note Worthy Composer. Many of these songs are considered "bullshit" by the artist. Released January 2004.

1. TTTTTTTT
2. Me So Horny
3. Sirugy
4. Acrophie (David Stark!)
5. Murder Machines
6. Razorburn
7. A Bit of Noise
8. Mudball

GLAMOUR DIVA - It was supposed to be a follow up to PAWESOME, but ended up only having rerecorded songs and a couple of new ones and a less enthusiastic vocal track. 2 songs got cut from it, a redone version of "Siurgy," and a cover of "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead (this later was released on the split with Word Problems. Released July 2004.

There was also a rash of "Best Of" compilations that had random tracks that included stuff off of the first 3 CDs and random songs recorded here and there. Most had obscene or otherwise berating messages to the buyers. A fake acoustic radio show was recorded with Rick Vandeveerdonk sometime in late 2004.

FINANCIALLY CONSTRAINED ADVENTURES E.P. - Alex was short on cash. He made an E.P. It was only sold at a house party in December 2005. He made $80 that night. The E.P. was of very good quality compared to previous releases.

"Hang On" was a song written by Alex when he was 15 redone into a dance track. The E.P. was also released at a house party, but received no fan fare. The intro song was a voice mail message from Slacker (a bossie). Released in May of 2006.
