Bricklayer Bosh

Vesper is raw musical talent incarnate. Scott is Bosh's technical
wizard. Tatum Elvyra...well, she has a certain post-mortem charm.
Dom, however, has none of these qualities. He is the band's Fanboy
Laureate, as he is Bosh's most enduring fan. After Vesper's mom.
Okay, so he's the band's earliest geographically accessible fan.

Dom's function in the band is surprisingly not just marimba. As
Fanboy Laureate, it's his privilege to support the project in any way
necessary. He learned to play marimba and is currently learning bass
just for Bosh. There is even a rumor he provides vocals on the
project, aside from any shrills heard in 'Yuppied Out.' These are
rumors, of course, because it's commonly known that Dom has the vocal
timbre of a half-dead cat in labor.

He does have a musical background, though. Dom played viola and
clarinet throughout his pre-college life. He is a voracious musical
consumer, and his CD collection is a veritable (and often unorganized)
international buffet, with artists from Brazil, Turkey, India, Iran
and several places beyond. His iTunes is far more diverse, but
uncompromisingly more organized.

When he's not Boshing around town, Dom is a student of fashion design
at prestigious (and affordable) San Diego Mesa College. He makes no
comment regarding Tatum's taste, but is constantly delighted by
Vesper's styles. He spends an inordinate amount of time on his
iPhone, but is almost guaranteed to be using the Style Studio Fashion
Design app on it, rather than talking, texting, or Facebooking.
Someday he will have his own men's fashion line, and the world had
best be ready for that much awesome. Dom also plays other video
games, but none are nearly as amusing as Style Studio, but League of
Legends takes away a good portion of his day. He hopes never to
relapse into another World of Warcraft-related waking coma, however.

When he finally gets around to it, you can also visit Dom's blog,
where the depths of his inner workings will be explained in terms mere
mortals can understand. It will likely not be suitable for work,
whatever that means.

Scott Higby began his music career playing in 70’s cover bands and teaching music to the kids at Ridgemont High (Clairemont High in San Diego). He earned a BA degree in music while playing in punk and new wave bands in the late 70’s and early 80’s. While beginning his recording studio career, he performed in black gospel groups, classical choirs, and spend a few years playing guitar in the pit band for the San Diego Repertory Theater.

The recording studio took over in the early 80’s, and he spent the following years writing, engineering and producing for metal, punk and pop bands, classical piano, pipe organ, childrens music, electronica, jingles, theatrical and ballet productions, live events, and hundreds of audio books and thousands of radio and television commercials.

In his recent return to the performance side of the game, Scott co-produced and engineered the San Diego Music Award nominated album for Hocus, and is now providing guitar and electronic mayhem for the lovely and dangerous Bricklayer Bosh.

Happily, Scott has not had a real W-2 job, or a boss, in 30 years.

Bricklayer Bosh was looking for another drummer after having once again suffered the Spinal Tap curse. Salacious and unconfirmed rumors involving a chandelier, 20 piranha, duct tape, and 9-inch stiletto heels, circulated rampantly around the San Diego music scene.

Unfortunately, the Curse was fulfilled during Día de los Muertos, Bosh’s favorite holiday. The trio retreated to their favorite graveyard to treat with the spirits and lament the woes of the band, doomed in its infancy (there was a lot of booze needed for both).

The Veil between the worlds of the living and the departed was already thin due to the holiday, and the reveling and mourning of the band rekindled an ancient passion from beyond the grave. Tatum Elvyra Korg had been resting in the graveyard since time immemorial, having starved herself to death for a career as a supermodel/musician/perky female lawyer. With the wisdom of the dead, she realized the untold potential of this hapless group of musical misfits could launch her comeback from both obscurity and the grave. As she clawed her way through six feet of grave dirt with her perfectly manicured French-tip nails (she had a very good mortician), she realized her spirit was forever bound to Bricklayer Bosh (until she could release her solo album).

Originally cast as a tableaux vivant for an upcoming Bricklayer video, Tatum seized the opportunity to showcase her musical abilities. Her outrageous persona and X-rated humor gave her the shoe-in.
