El Travieso (The Desi Arnaz of Death Rock)

About Me

I live in West Hollywood with my cat Mister Willie... I've been playing guitar in Hollywood bars since I was 18 years old... when I was a teenager I was a member of a spooky kiddie punk band called LOS CREMATORS DE SANTA MARIA with my homeboys Pablo Diablo, Habib and Labrino... in the late 80's and early 90's I played guitar in CHEMICAL PEOPLE and DOWN BY LAW as well as working with THE JEFF DAHL BAND... PUNK ROCK VATOS (PRV13) is my band along with Greggiweggs, Boobs and Teddy... they are the tightest musicians i have ever had the honor of playing with... we are brothers... some of you might have met me when i toured the United States as a hired guitarist with 45 GRAVE... last year I was asked to join the original members of CHRISTIAN DEATH on a new musical journey... ain't life funny?my writing has been published in magazines such as GLUE, READ and FANGORIA and VARLA Magazine... I publish my own periodical called THE BAD LATINO GAZETTE and it features my writing, photography and art...I have done spoken word performances on both coasts...you church-goers may be familiar with my mom SAINT MARY TERESA PINA...
