Between mowing the grass and stringing wire in impossible situations, Dan Ake brings his 30+ years as a resident of San Francisco and a veteran of the SF Art wars, both visual and aural, to the Eddie the Rat line up. Mr. Ake has designed, built and plays a number of instruments employed by EtR including LoBro, Spike, 2X6, and the Long Boy. His approach is to "Start stupid and learn by doing in an attempt to maintain his musical virginity." Open 24/7 are words to live, work and suck by. Mr. Ake is adept at all three but not stuck in any one.
