Audio Rage is a musical project done by computer applications, various musical instruments and TWO musicians. It's what Patrick "Audio" Lew calls Audio Rage "band in the box." The music and band Audio Rage mostly does their music on a PC computer using computer applications purchased from Guitar Center or Best Buy. It also includes MIDI keyboards and electric guitars picked up from the shop. This is Audio's story!
The "Band of Asians" was a one-man musical project and group of computer programs and various rock instruments that crawled out of City College of San Francisco, the best community college in the Bay Area during 2005, along with a very gifted and talented Asian musician/artist named Patrick Lew. After years of trying to form a rock band from ads placed in the local music newspapers and Craigslist.org, Patrick founded Band of Asians with the help of computer applications he received from Guitar Center and Best Buy stores.
The one-man band/musician and musical mastermind behind Band of Asians, Patrick Lew, grew up in San Francisco. He worked at a comic book store and tried getting a job at Amoeba Music and Tower Records, and went to City College of San Francisco upon graduating from high school. Coming from a broken home, Patrick often played music in his one-man band Band of Asians and promote his music via internet to help cope with personal hardships. Patrick once played in another local band with musician friends from high school called Samurai Sorcerers. When that group mutually parted ways, Patrick wanted to do music on his one-man band so he purchased musical instruments and various computer applications from a local music or computer store to do so. The Band of Asians was formed in 2005, after going through various bandnames for the one-man band.
Band of Asians recorded their first album, a self-titled EP, at their home musical workshop on May 8, 2006 in just a four hour session to make music using a guitar, keyboards, bass and "music making" application on a PC computer. This was followed with the Band of Asians setting up a music profile on the social-networking webpage MySpace.com, and showcasing the one-man band and music on other personal webpages on the internet when Patrick got on the computer at his Band of Asians musical workshop.
With good music from a one-man band and musical group Band of Asians, plus Patrick Lew's pin-up Asian good looks other than his very talented resume to play various musical instruments designed for rock music...The Band of Asians music and only one constant bandmember consisted of that. The Band of Asians plans to make another album in one of Patrick's friend's apartment near San Francisco State University at the Villas House Park. Due to Patrick's personal hardships with family at home, he might move his musical workshop in another home with his various musical instruments, computer & music computer programs, turntables and huge record collection to a new house in the great city of San Francisco which he calls "rock & roll heaven" to live in.
Meanwhile at community college at CCSF, Patrick is promoting his music on his various personal webpages for musicians/bands to promote their music (i.e. MySpace, PureVolume and etc) along with tinkering with his computer programs such as Magix Music Maker 10 deluxe {to make electronic/dance music} and FL Studio 6 {a computer program he uses to make other styles of music}. The Band of Asians will most likely remain a one-man band and musical group that mostly focuses their musical career in their own musical workshop to rely solely on studio recording instead of playing music for gigs in front of a live audience at clubs for any event such as "Battle of the Bands." For the Band of Asians, whenever the time to play music for a gig is important...Then a musical and social activity like that will happen, quite possibly at Ernie Ball Guitar's "Battle of the Bands," which Patrick Lew has a music profile on it which he put his biography and two mp3 files of his musical work on that webpage. But normally at the moment, the Band of Asians will do their music inside a home recording studio where the one-man garage band will play some keyboards, guitar and fool around with the computer and some application to make a record. That is the history and musical story of Band of Asians.
