This is the New band Name for my band.... for me rather..... our Colors are red and black.... we are a Christian Rock band..... under a Christian Media HOuse called CaterPictures... This is us... so I'm spending today changing every Name everywhere, Taking down the Old and bringing up the new... I live under a New Banner. Grace.... His Grace.. God's Grace... Through His son... I am loved by Him.. I do so much wrong everyday but he always saves me... it's really amazing how sinners like can actually taste Grace... so that my story.. I've been fortunate enough to Realize that God's grace is everything I need to live.. I am blessed enough to know about Jesus..... it is my duty to spread his word wherever I go.... You see,my story is always about helping each other up... and God's word is the only way to do it. Yesterday.. I met a little boy outside my workplace..... okay there were three of them but my interest was in one of them.... the other two boys were carrying backpacks, he was carrying what looked like a mixture of a hand bag and brief case. I could tell that the little boy was uncomfortable with how cumbersome it was to handle his on bag.. but also, on his face, I could see a look of acceptance... the little boy had come to grips and accepted that he didn't have a backpack, and as much as he wanted one, he couldn't get it..... so I called him, and walked with him... talking to him like he was a friend of mine. we walked across the road to a place where a man was selling second hand backpacks... I asked him to pick one... he picked it up and I asked for the price.. I was told 85 Kwacha... what?????????? for a second hand back pack???? that's ridiculous... but you see, I pulled out the money and gave it to the man......
Only after the boy had left and I had returned to my workplace did it occur to me that Shoprite sells BRAND NEW backpacks for less than 30 Kwacha....It then hit me.... in the moment I saw the little boy and deduce what I deduce about him.... I just wanted to get him out of his situation.. raise his self esteem and bring him closer to me.. win a friend...... I wanted change for the little boy, regardles of how it came... and that's what drives me as I do my work,,... Music, Photography.... I want those I meet who haven't experienced such love and mercy to know what My God has done for me....... He has been Overly mercyful...... someone once told me,,... The word Grace means... UNMERITED favour... favour you didn't earn, fight for, or even know about.. you had NO clue what was going on.... I want to share that through everything I do... you can not say you have experienced His mercy if you have nothing to show for it... the only thing you can show for it is mercy itself......so yes... That is my band Name...... Stripes of Salvation... I am currently working on a few music projects with local Artists, doing new cover arts and everything... Getting this project off the ground.....
I also belong to a media group called Hope Army.... these are people who have helped me with everything since i started this journey... I love them.....
so uhm.. Kudos *Dives into Trash bin*

New Project
Kill the ogre??? Most of You are wondering why I would call it that. Those with a sense of humor may even relate me to a Shrek hater. I'm not. The Ogre in My perspective, is the treatment which we get from those that judge my music and every other rockstar. The Ogre is also the belief that hovers over this genre. the ideas of bad evil wrongs that we suffer the accusation of.
No lie, it hurts. a good lot. it kills to know that one genre like hip hop can be accepted and Rock not. Music is a Universal language. it is the only language hich you don't have to know to understand. it breaks all barries set by words.. because music doesn't always need words. It could be a simple instumental piece. nothing complicated. you don't have to know who did it to enjoy it.
On This project, I want to tackle and encompass all Genres. i want every one to be able to listen to it and not be judgemental about it. I will have instrumental music on it. I will (for the first time) vocalise my lyrics on some of the music. you will hear me rap, sing, scream. name it. you will hear it on this record. I'm not sure yet how many songs I'm putting on it. oh!! and I will also do covers on it. (yeah.. there a few nice songs I want to cover).
My cover arts, will be done by me with help from two people who have been very supportive.. Scotty Zepplin and Natasha Narkotix. these are two Facebook friends who have helped me shape my music and photography life.
SCOTTY ZEPPLIN

This man Makes music just like me. i met him two years ago, then I was just starting out into this music. He sent my some of his early projects and I sent him some of mine. We bonded instantly. He has been a major inspiration to a lot of my work. ( I think I will do a cover of his music on this project) He also brought out the photographer in me. We've traded Ideas, projects and a lot of other things just to better ourselves at Music and Photography. (A secret: He also motivated me to start working out.. I'm jealous of how he has all that energy coming out of him. so I started working out.. I may just be a prdigy of Scotty Zepplin.) Zepplin will play a big part in the Success of this Project.
NATASHA NARKOTIX
https://www.facebook.com/lynn.biersack/about
She is a 17 year old Goth Model. I met her late last year but in the few months we've worked together, she has proved to be just what I need on my production team.. She, like I said earlier, is a Goth Model.. She brings to the production of this project the Dark side which has been painted on us. She brings out the pain felt by us, who are looked down upon.. she puts a face to the anger, shame, hate and resent that is felt by all who are opressed.
We are Angeles Muertos. Dead Angels as it were. and this is our Message to all.
