About Me

....My favorite candy is Spree (original, not chewy) and I was nearly kidnapped from Ridgmar Mall in West Fort Worth, TX in 1985. I got a wonderful girl by the name of Jen. She is two thumbs up of wonderful, in fact. I perform song and dance numbers (heavy on the song) most frequently in a globetrotting fashion. My muse of choice is the drumset, or "tambores" for the Spanish speakers, but "la guitarra" is also a passion. I also press record for bands when they desire to "commit" something to tape. I live in Los Angeles with my band Oliver Future. We are wrapping up our new full length record with producer/god Adam Lasus (Clap Your Hands Say Yea, Yo La Tengo, members of Sonic Youth, Varnaline, Matt Keating, P.J. Harvey, Gigolo Aunts, Juliana Hatfield, Helium, Daniel Johnston). If you havent noticed, he basically invented Indie Rockfor all other inquiries please visit one of my other 65 or so myspace accounts, specifically this one: www.myspace.com/jordanrockproducer. and this one: www.myspace.com/oliverfutureTake the quiz:
Which Celebrity It Girl are You?

Hilary
You are Hilary. Well arn't you just the cutest thing on the block? Your style is cutesy fashion, and your attitude is definitly positive. You do have a problem with feeling the need to be sweet and cutesy all the time. That is gonna get old eventually. Come out and play. There is a big wild world for you to get lost in. Oh....leave the hag(your sister) at home!
