Why does it feel so GOOD to BE SO BAD?

About Me



UNGAWA!! I am the singer / drummer of the Maryland based cave-rockers The Ubangis! Our latest CD "Exploit Yourself" is finally out! WHOO-HOO!! For my proverbial "bread and butter" I sell b-movie junk; horror, erotica, Spaghetti Westerns, Blaxploitation,... mostly from the '60s and '70s. I am a perspiring (sic) film maker and have recently released a documentary on Spanish director Jess Franco that I shot in Spain in 2000. I looooooves me sum music(k) and movies, baby!
