Chuck Bailey, former bassist for Kid Deposit Triumph Session Bassist and Hired Gun from Las Vegas NV. I started my journey of music what feels like forever ago. Admittedly I wanted to play guitar like my dad but he insisted I learn bass because “everyone plays guitar and guitarists are everywhere… it’s hard to find a GOOD Bassist.” I don’t know if that is true but it was enough for me! A decision was made and I was on my way to long and fulfilling nights… locked in my room away from everything for hours toughening my chops against any music I could find! From Video Game music to Jazz to Metal, to Rock and anything else I could get my hands and ears on I wanted to play to it! It consumed me and I was hooked! After some years playing in everything from Weird Acid Jazz/Fusion/Rock/Noise, to Hardcore to Videogame metal, (putting in the time as they call it) I finally got a shout out to try for this up and coming Hardcore/Metal band in Las Vegas called Kid Deposit Triumph. I got the gig and after some Epic shows with some amazing bands, we got an opportunity to work with Sony BMG and record our EP with Howard Benson in LA. From Learning KDT first album Our Peace will Destroy Many to writing Hangin Tuff and We dedicate These Pages, it seemed like Everything was moving a million miles an hour and from there it was nothing but memories and good times! Music has been good to me! We separated from Sony BMG in 2009 and from there I have worked on solo music, Played with some amazing musicians and bands and work on bass tracks and session work in between playing shows on the Las Vegas Strip. Most recent escapades took us on the 311 Jamaican Cruise where we played with bands like RX Bandits, Chali 2na, and of course 311! Since then I have collaborated with bands like Bravo Delta, Justin Carder, The Black Jacks, Singles, Anti-Gravity and most recently Hells coming with me! A Metal band out of Las Vegas Nevada that is writing and making some seriously EPIC stuff! I have always been fascinated with the bass because of the typical mindset a lot of guys had for it. Like it is limited because it isn't a guitar or the epic “4 string” argument… they are all just entertaining because Bass is such a new instrument and there are amazing musicians, music and approaches being seen every day! I am just happy to be a part of it and make some new friends and some new music along the way! All I want do is sound like me and so far that has been working GREAT! Music is Life and it is WORTH Living! If you have a need for some bass in your life reach out and let’s be homies and make some MUSIC!
