Greg Sage's first appearance was on pro-wrestler Beauregarde's full length album. Sage's dark lyrics were rife with references to confusion and severe alienation. His songs took unexpected turns and were typified by fractured melodic passages punctuated by massive, clean, intricate guitar parts. Sage operates his own label, Zeno Records (based in Phoenix, Arizona ) and has also recorded several albums as a solo musician. He also builds his own music equipment and built his own studio. When the Wipers burst upon the Northwest music scene in the latter years of the 70's, the scene would forever change. Fronted by Greg Sage, The Wipers became leaders of the NW new wave explosion. Greg's knack for using distortion as an additional instrument coupled with his painful, alienated words and highly perceptive take on human life would help cement his legacy in the world of independent rock. Future generations of rockers such as Kurt Cobain would later cite Greg Sage as one of their most important influences. DISCOGRAPHY Wipers
