Rock Trash au Go Go...what a tale my thoughts could tell

About Me

I play guitar and sing for STAR STAR . It's the only band I've ever been good enough to be in, and for better or for worse my whole life has revolved around it. Even this page...

So...I'll blurb a little....maybe rant a bit....my ranting gets rave reviews y'know.

Let's see....hmm........before Star Star, I was a haircutter...well, I still am...I mean I still can cut hair...it's just that I gotta be in a pretty damn good mood to give you a haircut these days...or you gotta' be broke.

For the last five years I did a radio show every Saturday and Sunday on RockFM, but that ended this May...and I'm just now starting to miss it.

I'm also fantabulous cook!...a professional shopper....and alot more politically aware than people expect, so don't get me started!

a few humble words about Star Star
..
"Neo-serious, neo-punk, neo-glam, neo-fun stuff"
GUITAR MAGAZINE
"...cut from the same cloth that dressed lots of Ramones and Alice Cooper sides..."
BILLBOARD
"Star Star are unafraid to forge their own, more dramatic look and raw energetic sound."
RIP MAGAZINE
"Star Star are destined to become something of real importance to the modern music world performing their brand of glam/R&B rock with punk attitudes."
METAL HAMMER
"You may never understand how truly hip Star Star really is."
CREEM MAGAZINE
"...the band blasts away at rock's currently indestructible wall of sobriety"
NEW YORK TIMES
"... sickened with grunge? Look no further, Star Star are here to pull your cracker."
KERRANG
"Star Star's music shines and whines with a serious sense of bratiness and na-na-na-na attitude."
HIT PARADER
"Draping layers of trash, glitter and gloss around their well dressed decadence."
CMJ NEW MUSIC REPORT
"Ultimately shiny and fun, uplifting, toungue-in-cheeky and loaded with soundtracky flamboyance."
HARD REPORT
"These rockers stand out so conspicuously from the rest of the crowd."
CIRCUS MAGAZINE
"Glam trappings, punk leanings, and a certain aristocratic decadence."
STEREO REVIEW
"Star Star has an infectious quality that can't be faked or denied. Let's just say that you haven't seen anything
like this in a while."
FOUNDATIONS
"a sound so damn obnoxious-they sound as if they're sticking their toungues out....a damn good band."
EAST COAST ROCKER
"Listening to Star Star makes you want to (yes I'll admit it) dance."
ROUGH MIX
"Very much what you'd call normal, well adjusted rock-n-roll behaviour."
ROCK WORLD

I can't do it anymore...
