From December 23, 1987 to around November 1998 I had a band called Inkognito. Originally we used the "correct" spelling of the word, but it was changed at some point to distinguish the band from the other bands that were using that name! The band went through numerous lineup changes over the years (19 if I'm counting right!), and we did one independent album in 1993 called "Abuse Your Delusion 1 1/2." When I went to college, the band broke up, but I reformed it while I was there, and that is where we did almost all of our shows. We played numerous "kegger" parties, battle of the bands and also did a bunch of headline shows at a now-defunct club in Macomb Illinois. The lineup that wrote and recorded "Delusion" was Mike on guitar/vocals, Rich on drums and myself on bass/lead vocals. We had an amazing chemistry between the three of us! One of those rare circumstances where we all complimented each other musically perfectly. That particular lineup of the band played it's last full show on January 29-30, 1993, and outside of a brief appearance opening for another band later that year, we didn't play live again. RIch and I played a show with a different guitar player, and later I did a few shows with my friend Bob on drums and a guitar player named Larry in 1998. I finally put the band to rest for good in 1999 when I decided to move to Florida. All the lineups of the band were fun to play with, but I still consider the lineup of me, Mike and Rich to be the "classic" lineup.
A couple of years ago, Mike, Rich and myself started working on new music for a new project via the internet. It's still in the writing phase, but we have found that the chemistry that we had over 20 years ago was still there! Hopefully we will be able to get these new songs recorded to share with you all at some point. Because of where we all live, I don't see any live "reunion" gigs anytime soon, but I've seen enough instances with bands and musicians managing to do things that they never said would happen, so I don't rule it out either! ;)
Here is some video footage of Mike, Rich and I in action from 1991-1993....
