Rod - Lead Guitar & Vocal  

 

Rod is a veteran of the North Texas music scene, cut his musical teeth on progressive rock bands such as King Crimson and Yes and grew up partying to the great club bands of the Dallas, Denton and Austin areas.  Playing in bands including Solus, Split Lever,The B-Band and The Syntonics helped hone his chops as sharp as a piece of Dorito that get stuck between your tooth and gum.   It has been said that of all the guitar players in Texas,  Rod is certainly one of them.  Now, spanking the plank with Broken Code for over a third of a decade. Rod has found the musical outlet that should keep him off the street and away from Prime Time Television.  Philosophically, he says he’d like people to remember that their day job’s just a way to finance this grand adventure called life and to not take either one too seriously.  Rod sez, “We’re all in this together, we might as well party!”
