Mindscape started as a two piece act, Matt Higginbotham and Scot Lee began appearances doing acoustic sets with a regional band named TBS in Cleveland, Ohio. After several years of writing and developing structure, they progressed into a full blown band producing a mix of rock and hard rock on their first release. The band went on to develop a more hard edge and raw sound with the arrival of singer, Steve Bull.
Band members while never completely turning the endeavor into a full-time run, have gone to pursue regular careers since retirement from shows. They felt it was important to put family first and music second. They were entertained with several opportunities to tour worldwide and expand to create a 4th album and decided that retirement was best after a strong run. Scot Lee has gone on to continue his work in the executive retail field, and entertainment business assisting international artists with contract negotiations and signing deals. Scot also works with the biotechnology sector helping to contribute efforts to the expansion of mankind in tissue and bone science. Steve Bull is currently directing the IT and finance divisions of a public company. Von is running the pressured tank division of a company locally in Ohio and finally Matt Higginbotham services electricity in Northern Ohio as a linesman, from breaking drum sticks to scaling large telephone poles, they have all embraced change and diversity.
