After a few songs were written and recorded by Cody while touring in Florida he brought the material to me back home in Oklahoma and we would spend the next decade collaborating and kicking out tunes and playing shows to support the music that became JAKOB.

Jakob was more of a studio project for Cody and I. Once the songs were written and we thought we had enough material we would form a band to perform the music live. There was somewhat of a revolving door when it came to members and live performances. Jakob’s live performers are many and I wanted to write this article to give a shout out to those who have given themselves to this project at one time or another.

I feel like I am missing a few names. This article will be updated as I have more to add.

Bone Cellar was a cover band. We played songs from Slayer, Nuclear Assault, Megadeth, Metallica and Danzig, to name a few… Bone Cellar was the platform for inspiration and dedicated after school rehearsal sessions that would later prove to be the foundation of strength for some of the guys that would later enter the music industry professionally.

I wanted to have some kind of record of Bone Cellar online as we have all gone separate ways, years ago, and this page would serve as a nice reminder for those of us who remember.

Another video game cut for Droptest. Cody Bailey and Chris Bailey of Droptest are featured on Sony and Capcom’s Twisted Metal Broken video game trailer for PS3.

Born a Number was created by Malan Darras who was later joined by Justin Siggins on drums, Cody Bailey on synths and backing vocals and Chris Bailey on synth guitars and backing vocals. Born a Number had a short run before everyone had too many other things going on to keep the live shows up. Malan is now in Los Angeles. Cody is traveling the world with various acts on tour. Chris is bouncing back and forth between Nashville and Oklahoma. Justin one day burst into a colorful ball of beautiful light and ascended. We are still waiting on an email from him about his experience.

Visit Malan’s official website for more information on Born a Number and to listen to samples of the music.

Droptest is featured on this Mitsubishi commercial. Local Oklahoma filmaker, commercial video producer and photographer Clark Deal wanted to feature some heart pounding music to accompany his piece and we were happy to lend a hand. This song is unfinished and we hope to complete it and publish it on one of our next endeavors.

Music credits: Christopher Bailey, Mike Prado and Cody Bailey.
