Band Members: MAXWELL McMARTIAN aka MAX (Voc+Guit): .. His physical appearance is that of an alien, including the color of his skin, which is pistachio green. This fact is probably due to the total alienation and outcast nature regarding his W.A.S. P. family roots. It should also be stated that his father, who passed away years ago, was a veteran in Hanoi back in 1968. At that time, he was in contact with the remains of the agent orange chemical warfare product. So, Max’s physical appearance might be a direct consequence of all these events, and have nothing to do with aliens from outer space or things of that kind. Max was born and raised in a trailer (as an true “white trash man” should be), in the industrial neighborhood of Santa Fe Springs. After his father passed away, Max moved in with Matt in Topanga Beach. Being cynical, quick to anger and sentimentally sensitive, Max has deep ties with the principles of the working class. In fact, he is very gifted as a musician and as a composer, and he earns enough to pay for his keep working after school. MUSICAL INFLUENCES: Ramones, The Clash, Social Distortion, face to face, Descendents, Black Flag, Agent Orange, Strung Out, Cockney Rejects. PERSONAL HEROES: .. MATTHEW MOREWITZ aka MATT (Guit+BackVoc): .. Son of a Polish father and Bohemian mother, both practicing Jewish Hebrews. His grandparents on his father’s side survived Auschwitz and after the 50's emigrated to California where they become some of the most highly respected and famous plastic surgeons in the county of Los Angeles. Thanks to the fact that Matt's family is so well-to-do, the other members of the group were able to move into the house on the seaside at Topanga Beach. Matt is decidedly stands at a distance from Jewish/Zionist radicalism. (You need only a glimpse of all his tattoos to know that). But in his own way, he respects the religious holidays and traditions of the Jewish Hebrew culture. He is fascinated by the Rastafari religion preached by Marcus Garvey, and he thinks that there may truly be certain affinities and family tree connections between King Solomon and Haile Sellasie. It just might be that this is the reason for the four friends being the biggest consumer of the “Weed of Wisdom”. Thanks to Matt, besides the CREEP ALIENS concerts themselves, also the presence of female groupies is always guaranteed. MUSICAL INFLUENCES: Black Flag, Minor Threat, Circe Jerks, Pennywise, Jewdriver, Fugazi, Useless ID, Sublime. PERSONAL HEROES: .. MARKWALD MARZOLA aka MARK (BassGuit+BackVoc): .. Born in Brooklyn but raised in SoCal, Mark has been Max’s friend, notwithstanding the continual arguing, since the time they went to Kindergarten together. Mark has the character traits typical of Italian-Americans, i.e. he gets what he wants by taking full advantage of his limited resources and possessions. First impressions (given his unbridled dependence on having fun and pleasure) might make him appear rather superficial. But among his most important values, he puts friendship first. In fact, shortly after his parents left Santa Fe Springs to move back to Brooklyn, Max left his home (a trailer) and Mark decided to go with him to Topanga Beach to live with him there at Matt’s house. He literally loves porn and Ed Wood’s horror trash, to the point that he had the graphics of the “Bride of the Monster” billboard tattooed on his shoulder. MUSICAL INFLUENCES: Ramones, Slayer, Biohazard, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Motorhead. PERSONAL HEROES: .. MANUEL MIGUEL MERCADO aka MIKE (Drums): .. Since early childhood, Mike learned to live with violence. Being raised in Boyle Heights (a suburb of East L.A.), he had no choice but to take stock of hard reality around him: that of the "street gangs". After he lost a broth in a “blitz” of a rival gang, he decided to definitively sever all ties, covering over the tattoo of his “pandilla” with one of “Our Lady of Guadalupe”, the saint and protector of the Mexican people. A short time later, in order to remain anonymous, he shaved off his goatee and let his hair grow down to his shoulders. During this period, he met Matt at a concert of the “Suicidal Tendencies”, and asked if he cover move in with him at his house and form a band. He is very attached to his “surenos” roots and notwithstanding his intense Catholic faith, he is a very liberal thinker, sometimes even holding socialist vision on certain subjects. It is not mere chance that he supports and approves the causes in favor of the “Chapas” peons promoted by “E.Z.L.N”. MUSICAL INFLUENCES: Suicidal Tendencies, Union 13, Manic Hispanic, Voodoo Glow Skulls. PERSONAL HEROES: ..
