About Me


SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION
DJ STUFF
I am a DJ for a weekly night called "Sanctuary," in Providence, RI, and a contributing broadcaster to Liquid Gothic web radio. Prior to these events, I DJed a monthly event called "Heresy," which was a Batcave/Deathrock/Goth night at Club Hell, as well as a weekly, eclectic format night called "Corrosion" at Club Hell, and later Club Gallery, in Providence, RI. In college, I was a DJ on 91.1 WJJW, North Adams, MA.
I have spun guest DJ sets at Providence's Nokturnal (where I was a major organizer of the "Love Sucks" Valentine's night) and at Club Hell's "Resurrection," the predecessor to the "Corrosion" night. I spun at "Zombified," and "Re:Zombified," both being Troma benefit shows in Brooklyn, NY, was a guest DJ at QXT's, New Jersey's all goth and industrial club, and spun at the 2007 New England Darkside Walkers' Ball.
I have also had the great honor of being one of the DJs at DROP DEAD FESTIVAL III and IV in NYC, and this year's Dances of Vice Festival Weekend .
EVENT PROMOTION EXPERIENCE
Through "Corrosion," I have been involved in the booking of bands like 45 Grave, Holy Cow, Blitzkid, The Brides, Deadfly Ensemble, The Automatons, Dorian James, and similar acts. Through "Sanctuary," I've been involved in th booking of bands like the Attrition, Thomas Nola et Son Orchestre, and the Dirge Carolers. As part of my regular DJ duties, I also help promote, organize and sometimes create flyers for the events I DJ at. I used to create flyers for my friend DJ Matthew Griffin's live music series at The Skybar in Somerville, MA (DarkSky @ SkyBar - RIP).
I ran the "CC's Cafe" coffee house in North Adams for two years and a half, where we booked acts like Peter Mulvey, Greg Greenway, Martin Sexton, and Jim Infantino. I also ran an open mic in New Bedford at the Daily Grind for 9 months, until the place shut down. I have experience running events that run the gamut of having $12,000 acts with contracts and riders, to booking acts for tip money over coffee. I have also been known to run occasional benefit concerts for the New Bedford soup kitchens.
POETRY STUFF
I was part of the two-man poetry group The Warrior Poets for two years, and we featured on WSAR-Somerset twice, performed for New Bedford's "Tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr."(40th Anniversary of The Dream), "AHA! Night;" I've also performed at the University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth DCE, The Pheonix Coffee House (now defunct), taught a poetry class at "Brick by Brick" (a center for underpriviledged children to explore the arts), and performed at a dozen other coffee houses in the Providence and Boston area.
COMPUTER STUFF
I was one of the co-founders of "Undead Linux," a 500,000+ downloaded linux distribution written from scratch and the only distribution that aspired to be banned from the Pope. I was the original author of many of the initialization scripts and the pkgtool packaging system.

Infrequently, if at all.

Currently reading through back issues of Helter Skelter, Trouser Press, and ZigZag magazines.

Heroes are for the weak.
