Bass guitar on stage
Mike Kazmer

I've been lucky enough to play in many bands over the years, and here are a few of my favorites.

  • The Short Term

    A punk-influenced indie rock band, The Short Term was my first Boston-based project. In addition to playing bass and creating album art, I recorded much of our EP at my home studio. It's one of the projects I'm most proud of.

  • Vayden

    Nu-metal band with classic rock influences and driving energy. We toured nationally and internationally while signed to Silent Majority Group, opening for Candlebox, Tantric, and Drowning Pool.

  • Halocene

    Girl-fronted, high-energy pop rock band. Being close friends with the Halocene gang, I played with these hometown heroes on many occasions (including as the opening act for Blink 182!).

  • Housmans Athletes

    A party rock band (though we preferred the term "hardcore pop") influenced equally by metal and country. Shared the festival stage with Rise Against, Alkaline Trio, NOFX, and Flogging Molly.
