About Me

Hello campers, I'm Chris Valdez, clean and sober punk rocker and good egg.
I am vocalist/bassist for Valdez (www.valdez.org.uk or www.myspace.com/valdez seeming as though you're on here) a band I formed back in 2001, and which now also includes my surrogate brothers Matt Spartan, Cooter and Bob. The band takes up most of my time. People say I spend too much time working on it. They're probably right.
Hammers fan and proud of it-if you don't like it, suck my plums.
I run Cider City Records (www.cidercityrecords.com) with my homeboy Jerry and it's starting to take up more of our time now, so thats another couple of hours a week down the toilet.
I'm an open minded person and can't stand bigotry, racism or greed of any kind.
My girlfriend is kick ass, even I wouldn't fuck with her.
If I fit the bill...send I a message. If not, fuck off.
And please...I only accept adds from people I know or who introduce themselves to me first. Yet I still get adds from 50 or 60 crummy emo bands every week. If I don't know you, I'm sorry, you'll get denied.
And if I don't reply quickly, its because I'm working anywhere between 50-60 hours a week.

My Interests

Punk, partying and pomade

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who still fights the day to day struggle. Don't be a working stiff. It's all about a cup of tea and questioning everything. We all know this world is a shit hole...it doesn't mean you have to accept it.

But not you. Fuck off, you smell of chips.
