About Me


I've been in a ton of bands over the years. Here are a couple of 'em:
CURRENT FULL-TIME: THE NORTHRIDGE RANGERS : Brand new surf band with Ben from SLACK.
THE PROTOMEN : A legion of robot warriors sent to destroy Dr. Wily. (No, seriously.)
PART-TIME OR RANDOM: THE DEAD HEATS : Super trash rock n roll with Brian Reverbian and Dave from BAMA LAMA RECORDS. There may be a 45 released sometime in the future.
CHRIS FREEMAN EXPERIENCE : Pop, pop, pop.
IRONHEAD : Death Glam rock n roll influenced by Dead Boys, Hanoi Rocks & Kiss.
C.O.D. : Played drums for 2 reunion shows, and if the new recordings ever get done, I'll be on those as well.
PAST: THE REVERBIANS : 60's garage influenced trash-surf rock n roll. Brian Reverbian is now in THE EXOTIC ONES & THE DEAD HEATS.
THE HELLBILLIES : Hillbilly outlaw rock n roll. I was in the band for about a month or so and played drums for one show.
THE RUNAROUNDS : Hellacopters/MC5/Kiss/Stooges influenced rock n roll. Featured Johnny Sonic (later Sikk) who went on to form IRONHEAD and played in the CANDY SNATCHERS & ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN.
THE EGGROLLERS : Punk rock in the vein of The Queers, Riverdales and Vindictives.
I run a record label called SHOOT FIRST RECORDS . I put out a record by the DRAMA QUEENS and am working on a couple of more records.
I'm a criminal. I forget that people aren't always looking at the exact same thing as me, then I ask them about it. It involves a lot of explaining and backtracking. I have a bad habit of looking at my own profile just to hear the song. Procrastination has fucked me since day one. I'm mostly unhealthy. I hate being asked about my food selection. I bite my nails. I have two tattoos and one of them is completely ridiculous. I wanna start a furious rock n roll band. Beware the Rangers in '07!!
Oh yeah and I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
