Twitch00 + Musician in Calgary, AB

SEEKING

ABOUT

It began in 1996 when Shayne Lawrence decided to start a band with a couple of friends, Adam Hates You. He had previously been writing music and wanted to give it a live feel instead of just a computer. The band lasted two and a half years. In November of 1998, Shayne went on a trip to Calgary, Alberta. There for only one week, he decided it was time for a change. He left the band and quit his job.
In 1999 Twitch started in Calgary with a limited cassette tape release appropriately named Twitch. From 2002 to 2015 Shayne’s one man show released five albums respectively; We are Here to Dance!, TCP/IP, Welcome, ant, and ant: The Path Home.
In 2014, Shayne contributed a track off of, what would become, the “This D1sk” EPs to a short experimental film called “Sub-Ordinate” written and directed by Katja Moeller!
In 2015, two instrumental versions of tracks off of the “ant” album were featured in another short film called “Rubicon” written and directed by Sue Kenyon!
After playing shows in support of the ‘ant’ album, Shayne went back into the studio to write and record a special new project ‘This D1sk’. ‘This D1sk’ is not an official album but, a special 4 part EP release. It is, in Shayne’s own words “It [This D1sk] originally started out as a primarily instrumental record, but, as it evolved some of the songs developed lyrics. I had wanted to do something like this for quite some time and I think this is the perfect time to do it!”
Twitch’s lyrics and songs take a positive path and the message being that: we can change the world! And, we can have fun while we do it!! Twitch is an industrial/metal/hiphop solo project.

Listen to songs at: reverbnation.com/twitch00, and facebook.com/twitch001 on facebook or twitch01.bandcamp.com.

We are currently looking for a guitarist for the recording process (must have an understanding and interest in the nu-metal genre, 7strings prefered). If you are interested you can e-mail Shayne at: Daemon_w60 @ shaw dot ca, or message him on facebook (Shayne Lawrence) if interested.(Shayne currently resides in the Calgary, AB. Canada region)
