Peter hayes creates his good luck loop for ditto x2 looper
Early life

Hayes grew up in Minnesota, and when 14 or 15 years old got into trouble and was grounded for over a year. During that time he began figuring out how to play his mother's guitar out of boredom. She taught him some flamenco and finger picking songs, which was influential for Hayes, as was the music of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd. While in high school, Hayes met future band mate Robert Levon Been, an association that later led him to The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Hayes played guitar and bass for the neo-psychedelic rock band The Brian Jonestown Massacre circa 1998. Examples of his playing can be heard on the group's Give It Back! album.

Hayes appears as a highly visible, yet quiet musician in the 2004 movie documentary DiG! as an active touring member of The Brian Jonestown Massacre. The film also documents the befriended band The Dandy Warhols.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Peter Hayes is a founding and current member of the alternative rock trio Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
