It's ALWAYS all about the ROCK!

About Me

I am a DJ on WFMU in NJ- wfmu.org; the greatest radio station on the planet. I play mostly extreme metal, punk, devo, rock, hardcore, & the occasional noise collage. My program is called Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine on Thursdays 3-6 pm (east coast time) http://wfmu.org/playlists/DK. We archive our shows, you can listen to any show in the past 3 years online & we have a great search engine on our homepage to direct you to programs that might be of interest --check 'em out!Powerhouse Tattoo in Montclair NJ is the name of my shop & I have been tattooing since the beginning of time.. or at least it seems so. I love my staff & hate my backaches. Come here! We do really good work!! powerhousetattoo.com. Right now I'm looking to hire an artist. We're 14 miles from Manhattan, a 40 minute bus ride from Port Authority; drop me a line if you're good & want work a few days a week.I am a live sound engineer; I go on the road with bands & do monitors, front of house, drum tech, tour manage, merch-- whatever needs to be done. I am looking for a summer tour & can just accept per diems if necessary. There's nothing better than watching people slap their hands over their ears!Travel! Oh, how much do I enjoy traveling?? This is probably one of the reasons why I love to tour so much. I enjoy being in new places & am thankful anytime I get a chance to explore some place I haven't been! Places I have been to in my life so far (and this doesn't mean I won't go back, but I'm just trying to span the globe- it's a big frikkin planet!)are...Argentina, the Bahamas, Belgium, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, US (48 states), Urugay. So far so good!

My Interests

MUSIC, ARCHAEOLOGY... yep, dirt and TATTOOS. I have been to Easter Island (Rapa Nui) twice (even though you can't see it on my TravelBuddy map), and I am sure I'll go again. I went to Angkor Wat a couple of years ago and hope to go back, but gotta hit the Yangtse River before they flood it.... I love checking out artifacts, caves and learning about primitive cultures, history and people. On the other hand, I stay current with music and have been a DJ on WFMU, thee coolest radio station on the planet for 26 years! I have been tattooing for a couple of decades now as well... I love most kinds of metal; bring on the necro, the black, the power and the crust.... I'm an old school punk rocker, so watch my attitude, HC in the day was IT - and I still enjoy a kick back to listen to Deep Purple or Thin Lizzy. Hell yeah!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who's not a dick, and don't ask to be my friend if your profile is private & you don't email me first! I'd ESPECIALLY like to meet anyone who's touring this year; need a front of house person? Need a tour manager? Need a drum tech? I can do it all..contact me, I'll do it for you!
