Career
After moving to Chicago, Static created the band Deep Blue Dream with Ken Jay and Bass player Eric Harris. The group was short lived as they relocated to California and Static-X was formed along with Tony Campos and Koichi Fukuda.
Static is well known for his unusual hairstyle; his hair is held up in a vertical position, a process that takes about 20 minutes to complete.
Static announced in July 2007 that he will begin a side project, Pighammer, but in a December 2007 interview with Ultimate-Guitar.com, Static stated: "The Pighammer thing will happen when I have time. At the moment though, Static-X will remain my main priority."
Static appears on the cover of the 2009 Static-X release, Cult of Static.
Wayne Static is currently touring with a backup band as part of his Pighammer solo-project after finishing recording his first solo record.
The band that plays with Wayne Static on his solos gigs / tours consisted of Brent Ashley on Bass, Sean Davidson on Drums and Ashes on Guitar-all well known and well respected musicians in their own right. In 2012, this lineup would tour as Static-X.
Wayne Static's solo album Pighammer was released on October 4, 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
