doubles on rhythm guitar and keyboards on the road, and adds viola when the band invades the studio. K-Mac was a founding member of the science-fiction art-rock ensemble Fluorescent Lite Orchestra, and penned all the lyrics for their critically acclaimed Ace Records albums "Imp Rise," "Altar Night Tease," "The Languid Puddles," and "X-Isle." In 1975, he quit FLO without warning, saying only "I'm burned out"--which left both his fellow band members and fans in the dark.
K-Mac spent the next 12 years as a cubist monk in an Indiana monogastery, during which time he amassed a world-class collection of sphagnum moss. On emerging from his retreat, K-Mac stunned a new generation of listeners with his solo effort "Vectors" (Bantam Records) before signing on with the BBB for the Mid-Life Crisis Tour, during which he earned a nomination for the groupies' coveted Hugger Award.
Away from the stage, K-Mac is an amateur beaver hunter and trapper. He continues to deny tabloid reports that he is the author of a series of pseudonymous pulp novels (EMPRISE, THE QUIET POOLS, EXILE) parodying the FLO catalog. His pet charities are the MSU Marching Violas and the Committee For A Constitutional Right To Free Association. His pet peeves are unrequited lust and imitation pasturized process cheese food.
