I'm pop culturally confused!

About Me

I've been living here in the centrifuge we've come to know as Los Angeles for nearly 10 years and ohhh what a ride it's been. I'm a drummer by trade, be bopping all over the world, playing and recording with such luminaries as Hepcat, the Transplants, The Aggrolites, Tim Armstrong, Vonda Shepard, Cypress Hill, Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards, the funky Black Fry(just to name a few) and am now getting ready for a mellower approach to this game we call "The Biz" I'm going to keep my ass at home, looking for studio work and working on my songwriting skills here in my own studio. I'm keeping a positive attitude about the future and wanting to meet and network with people much more than in the past. Always look on the bright side of life.... MyGen Profile Generator
