About Me

dekalb/sycamore illinois 1982. having a college in dekalb did wonders for the town as far as the music goes. NIU had a good varied amount of bands play including the ramones 5/01/80 ($3.99). also a few good record stores to support the music scene, the best and last one standing is record revolution. record rev is very important to ring13 in a couple of ways, its where scotty and bruce met as well as getting tremendous support from mark cerney and bobbo weiss for selling our merchandise. ring13 played in dekalb at various places including the dekalb high school where paint my dick was taboo, but was most certainly played with huge disapointment from the dhs staff which slapped bruce's face while handing over the check. the eagles club, the no nukes festival on pearl street, two fools, the campus of NIU were other sites for the live show. ring13 recorded one 14 song cassette at the time which will be ready for the digital age very soon with bonus live and unreleased songs. ring13 moved to chicago and lived at the big blue, home of articles of faith which allowed us to play their final show (they did reunite for later shows) as well as borrow their drummer for a live show at the caberet metro opening for out of order and battalion of saints. subverts steve ross and mike crown also served time taking on singing and drumming respectively. a few new songs have been recorded and will make the light of day soon.Profile Edited by Html-Codes.com MySpace Editor
