Carlos Covarrubias - Bass Guitar, Programming.
Birth date / Sign:
January 5th / Capricorn
Musical history - Began playing guitar on my sisters family acoustic
guitar as a kid. Got my 1st strat type guitar made of Sears parts at age
17. Formed a makeshift group for a school English project. We took the
name of “D.C. Shock Machine because we thought use of a medical term
was clever as a band name.
We stayed together long enough to write a track for the English project
and to play a party with me on bass. We did New Order,
Depeche Mode, and The Judy's covers.
Many guitars later I sat in with Breye and then forming “U-N-I” as we
worked on new songs. Due mainly to scheduling we parted ways for a
bit.
I gained experience in the promotional side of the business in high
volume national nightclub chains, large market radio promotion, and
marketing management for bands. I continued to work on music and in
December 2002 I formed a three piece called “VOX” as the bands
manager / singer / songwriter / guitarist. As “VOX” developed I began
helping Breye and Provision with on site retail sales, which led to
overseeing the entire marketing for Red Square Digital. From there I
was asked to join Provision and tour as live bass guitarist.
Musical Influences - The Cure/Robert Smith, The Clash, Cocteau Twins,
New Order, Echo and the Bunnymen, Flock Of Seagulls, INXS,

Most memorable Provision show - September 7th 03 San Antonio, TX -
Synth Fest at Communion & SiN13. The passion for the music was there!
It was great playing with and seeing all the other bands and meeting so
many new friends.
Other interesting facts - I draw, paint, and create visual graphic
solutions in a variety of media. I am almost completely ambidextrous.
Although I play guitar right handed, I'm primarily
left- handed. I eat with both hands haha.......
