About Me: Just your introverted Taiwanese guy who is Rock And Roll and plays guitar. And makes music! I've been a Rock N' Roll musician in the Bay Area and promoting myself online for almost a decade.

Patrick Lew's Band. Solo Grunge musician who promotes his music via Internet on websites like this.

Internet Musician SINCE 2001. Been in bands, played some shows locally, promoted my music online. Now studying music and doing it as a solo musician in college at Cal State East Bay.

I was born in 1985 in San Francisco, California. I am currently in college working on a BA degree in Philosophy and Music at the moment. My interests is mainly art and music, I am in fact as struggling local musician trying to make music, put it online and learn my ropes and odyssey for fame in the music industry. I am of Asian descent, meaning I am Taiwanese American. Though I don't speak my ethnic languages. I mainly play guitar as a musician and write songs and make my music on the computer and put it up online. I've been through a lot of good and bad in my lifetime. But again, it's all been worth it! After 24 years in my life, I am taking the time to do some evaulation to cleanse myself after years of turmoil. I think personally! I am living for today, but have a strong sense of missing the Nineties! It's true.

I've been on Soundclick as a solo musician since August 2005, and I also been making music in garage bands. Getting ourselves noticed and heard to survive since 2001 locally and via Internet, on websites like this. We done some sporadic shows regionally in the Bay Area as musicians. I been making music since I started playing guitar at age 13, and I am a very unconventional musician and songwriter. Considering I know little about conventional music theory and etc. I love being a one-man band (Patrick Lew's Band) because, more freedom, creativity and artistically. And I don't work under timing issues. But I do miss playing shows. I mostly make Grunge, Hard Rock and Punk kind of music as a solo musician. With a few extra added electronics!

So let me start, I was born in November of 1985. I am currently 24 years of age, and I got into music (primarily Rock N' Roll) at a very young age. When most babies were in their diapers playing their toys and watching Sesame Street on their TV. When I turned 13 years old, around 1998 or whatever. I was a 7th grader at Rooftop Alternative School in my former hometown of San Francisco. My mom and I went to a Guitar Shop and bought me a Fender Strat bundle for my 13th birthday. I was going to Chinese school in SF Chinatown, where I was friends with my later high school buddy Tommy Loi. We were in the same language and music lessons program. So we began playing music together, as Tommy was learning Drums in his Band/Orchestra course. In the summer of 1999, we began an amateur garage band as musician hobbyists called Goldenweasel. Which later became, Silent Minister. Our high school band. I was getting guitar lessons at the time, and we knew this was FUN and INTERESTING.

When me and Tommy went to Wallenberg High School together, we began our teenage lives as high school students. I was so interested in music, it became a passion and sometimes hobbyist obsession. Other than my video games, cartoons and writing. Around early 2001 or something, my schoolmate Joey Fitzgerald introduced me formally to his friend Morgan's younger brother Eddie Blackburn. Due to my complaints and desire to form a REAL rock band of musicians to play and make music with! We were basically in our mid-teens, although Eddie was age 12 when he joined Silent Minister. So that became our high school band. And suddenly! I was recording on a 4-track Tascam Portastudio at home, yeah I know...I am old. Haha, but I found out I could promote my music all over the Internet. So one afternoon in May of 2001, I went on my old PC computer with 56K dial-up Internet. And made a website. Thus, beginning my music career.

We played shows sporadically whenever we could. Depending on time and etc. The first gig Silent Minister played were buskers at Vans Warped Tour 2001 at a tent filled with rock band instruments. 2001, was not only the start of my music career personally. But, also the first time I played in a REAL rock band. Garage band, local band...Whatever! I was coming-of-age at the time, angry with high school melodrama and bullshit. But I also was in LOVE when I met my high school girlfriend, Amy Sean. She even built the first website for my music (http://patallans.8k.com)! So anyways, making music was the main priority and project for us. Distributing and marketing it online and regionally was second. And playing shows and getting heard, third.

When I was 16 years old, close to my 17th birthday. Me and Silent Minister played "BATTLE OF THE BANDS" in San Francisco at some nightclub. It was a very short live performance of our amateur Garage Band music. Rock N' Roll style. There's no pictures of us playing live, we didn't own digital cameras until 2004 or 2005. They were expensive at retailers at the time. And none of our friends came to see us, live, had a camera on them. But snuck in a tape recorder to bootleg our gig. Which I still have the tape somewhere in my room in a cardboard box of my music career memorabilia. So there! The next few years, we would play gigs on occasion and record new music and put it online. Despite the fact, we were very undeveloped as songwriters and musicians back then. Tommy soon left the band for school, but we're still very close today. He's working on Business and Retail now. But soon...

Opportunity knocked on our email account on Yahoo, when Statue Records contacted us on our SC website (when Silent Minister still had a Soundclick) in early 2003, about a promotion record deal. We signed. And it made us even more dedicated, passionate and serious about making music and behind it all. Regardless what f***ing music critics and haters thought of us. 2003, I was in love with Amy. And I was doing cross-promotion and distribution of my music individually and Silent Minister. Amy and I were close, somehow I met a lot of groupies via Internet during this time alone. I had an ex-girlfriend Mikko, who I dated and met through Findapix.com at the time. When that ended, some issues would continue for me as I was graduating high school. Me and Amy broke up, and were completely estranged since then. Although we did briefly reconcile at the Wallenberg High School reunion for alumni's in 2008. Pictures up to show what was once beautiful, can come back, but gets lost again.

In the summer of 2004, I graduated from Wallenberg. And was off to cram school at City College of San Francisco. I didnt want to at first, but my high school transcripts were awful. Since I focused more on music and art than my education at the time. I nearly got accepted to San Jose State University, when I sent in my bad SAT and ACT testing scores and college application to them. But I f***ed it all up. I even went to rehab in September of that year, because I was unhappy with my family life and with love & romance parting company in not so friendly terms. But Silent Minister went back into the recording studio, and we recorded a 2nd album "Blizzard of Sound" which later became Ed's solo album "Personality" for disputed source and reason. I was making music solo, jamming with other local musicians from City College and Craigslist. Little did I know, it was the tail end of my high school band.

So in 2005, we finished a short tour across San Francisco high schools and City College. I met my FIRST close schoolmate and friend in college, Zack Huang. In my Ethnic Studies course for Asian Americans. We loved liberal arts, music, film and being creative as individuals. Silent Minister and I were barely making music at this point. Ed was doing solo projects, so was I. In May, me and Ed as Silent Minister worked on music one last time for jam sessions and fun hobbyist band practices. After that, despite how many times me as a solo artist/musician and with Silent Minister, promoted our recordings and story online. We came to a point where, we had to go part company and do whatever we loved individually. So I called Zack, and we began jamming on music and buying hella equipment from Guitar Center to prepare a very ambitious Rock Project. At first we were called AUDIO RAGE. We tried out a few guitarists we met on MySpace musician ads. But that didn't work out. Me and Zack, also, briefly played with my schoolmate Gray Eser's band TORM. We were mainly inactive for various events and experiences in our lives at the time, so we never recorded anything.

By the time, I took a year off college to focus on my music career. I went to Skyline College briefly, because of my parents demanding education as a priority for me. But I was in NO shape physically or mentally to go back to school yet to learn my education. But when I took a music and reading course, I met my close friend David Arceo. Which we founded the DJ and Electronic Arts club on campus. I called Zack, and this became our band known today by many independent music fanatics as BAND OF ASIANS...

Why this name?

Well, Patrick Lew is my REAL NAME. The BAND refers to the music and art I created either as a solo artist or playing guitar in my former local Bay Area garage bands.

Do you play live?

Right now, I'm keeping everything LOW-KEY. For many reasons. I have college, family and other opportunities to jam with schoolmates and online friends because of boredom to show our passion for making and playing Rock music on our gear. I don't have a lot of time to play gigs because, I am busy with college and my personal life at this time. But music will always be a passion for me, either recording or playing it center stage.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Changes everything. Helps unknown people who CREATE music get heard. By setting up a website and, writing a story and showcase our music on a computer and the Internet. It changes everything. Before, there wasn't easy ways to get your band's music heard unless you played lots of shows, had your song played on MTV or Radio and had a CD or tape sold in record stores. Now anyone, regardless, can record their music at home and put it up online with today's technology. God bless reality.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

I would say, yes and no. Because, while I love being an independent rock musician after all. Promoting my songs and writing my story on websites like this. I still want recognition and make an IMPACT with whatever I am doing. But I say no, because I am a very complicated Asian guy who is against the traditions and politics of the music industry. I had many friends growing up in the San Francisco music scene who wanted to get signed to a major or indie record label, in bands, but many of whom didn't get far from just playing gigs at bars and clubs. I also am against people suddenly sucking up to me, after years of alienation and hardships I've experienced not only in the music industry. But in reality. But I still want success and recognition for my music and me. Yeah.

Your influences?

Mostly the Beatles, 70's and 80's Hard Rock, Alternative Rock and Punk. Some METAL such as Metallica along the way. But I mainly create music with my own individuality. I been making music since I was 13, but my musical interests are always expanding. I like 70's and 80's Hard Rock like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Guns And Roses and Aerosmith. I like early 90's Grunge like Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I like Punk such as The Clash and Minor Threat. I even listen to underground Hip Hop. Everything man, as long as it's up my alley. I like all music except, some Country and this decade's pop music. Meaning most of the 2000s.

Favorite spot?

East Bay, California. Anywhere else? School, only with the company of close schoolmates and friends. Other than that, home sweet home in Antioch, playing my Xbox 360. Reading and playing guitar in my room. And going on Facebook.com to keep in contact with friends online on my computer. And being in my home studio making crappy but interesting music, and playing a gig onstage when time permits me to do so. I love to entertain and give art and music to the people, and earn appreciation for what I do.

Equipment used:

Gibson Les Paul guitar. Epiphone Les Paul "hotWheels" guitar. Marshall MG10 amp. Boss DS-2 distortion pedal. Digitech RP50 multi-effects pedal. Acoustica Mixcraft for PC. My DELL laptop running Windows Vista....And I record using Line6 TonePort GX for my guitar when using Mixcraft. And I program the drum loops. I also use Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 to record, and Native Instruments Guitar Rig 3.
