Live Forever or Die Trying....

About Me

I love music.
Right now I play Guitar in Bamboula & Mad Sin

The stage is my drug, I love traveling & live for the simple pleasures in life.

I used to work at Amoeba music in Hollywood & taught music at KGMC in Valencia. I just moved to Berlin from Valencia, CA. See you at Syndikat!

My Interests

I LOVE MUSIC!
I ALSO LOVE GUITARS!
I ESPECIALLY LOVE PLAYING MUSIC ON THE GUITAR!
I'm sorry for yelling....
Don..t cry....

I'd like to meet:

Anybody Everybody Nobody

Some of the bands I play(ed) with:

Mad Sin - Sell Your Soul in Altmaar, NL 2008
Bamboula - Pineda De Mar Psyhobilly Meeting 2008

Caustic Hate - 2007

Barnyard Ballers - Dr.Jekyll & Mrs.Hyde - Knitting Factory '08?

Frantic Flintstones in Hollywood

Music:

I'm a musician, I used to work at a record store, I went to music school, I did some work on a discography website & I used to teach music....

Please don't expect me to list the bands I listen to or even all the genres...

I will give you this though:
I like music with passion, soul, beauty and/or energy
I listen to alot of fast agressive & rockin music like psychobilly, punk, metal, garage & rockabilly but I enjoy classical, jazz, roots ska, soul & gypsy music just as much.
Raised on Swing, grew up with Punk & now am madly in love with Psychobilly, but as long as it's good I'll like it. Regardless of genre.
Lately I've been listening to alot of Dead Kennedys, FEAR, Oingo Boingo, Taraf De Haduiks, The Sting Rays, DEVO, The Legendary Shackshakers, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Toy Dolls, Sunny Domestozs, X, Bad Brains, Hola Ghost, Cocksparrer, film soundtracks & Gypsy music.

Movies:

A Clockwork Orange ~ Monty Python's Holy Grail ~ all the Evil Dead films ~ The Wages of Fear ~ Hellboy I & II ~ Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas ~ Pan's Labrynth ~ The Adventures of Baron von Munchhausen ~ pretty much anything involving Gilliam or Del Torro ~ Metropolis ~ Ivan the Terrible ~ Campy Horror ~ 80's Horror ~ 80's movies in general ~ Nightmare on Elm Street ~ Natural Born Killers ~ Sukiyaki Western Django ~ Tarantino~ Iron Man ~ Batman Begins & The Dark Knight ~ Pi ~ Akira Kirosawa ~ The Seven Samurai ~ Samurai films in general ~ Cheesy Kung Fu films ~ Hitchcock ~ Classic Horror & B-Movies ~ Spaghetti Westerns especially The Good The Bad & The Ugly ~ Comedy ~ Classics throughout the decades

Television:

Television is evil....yet I can't seem to resist it!!!

Books:

Hemingway, H.P. Lovecraft, Oscar Wylde, Edgar Allen Poe, James Clavelle, Hunter S. Thompson, Ferlinghetti, books on Art (Me likey Art Deco) & books on Science, History, Mythology, etc.

If it's a subject I'm interested in, I'll take a science journal over Fiction.

Heroes:

No-one can save us but ourselves...

Who reads this shit anyway?
