'I'm a short fuse burning'

About Me

Hi, my name is Mike but you can call me Mikey. I have my Bachelors Degree in Graphic Communication Emphasis Design and Minor in Art (wahoo) I love to paint, Draw, photograph, and write. I love playing the drums and bass guitar. My body and my drumset are ONE. It's just too bad I can't drum at my apartment :( I enjoy performing live in front of crowds. It's a lot of fun. I play drums in a band called the Flanagans and another band called The Red Stars. I am living with the most wonderful woman in the world. We love going on walks, playing soccer, inventing drinks, talking, cooking skateboarding etc..I enjoy going to concerts and meeting/interviewing bands. I have great stories to tell of my past interviews. I love music and everything that surrounds it! Especially punk/some ska/tiny bit of hardcore and local indie bands.I am a "music snob" when it comes to my likes/dislikes that is, according to Jill, but I have opened myself to new and exciting bands and genres. I love my friends and my family. They will always be there for you in the end. I am also a free lance graphic designer for hire. I specialize in graphic design for bands and.... promo packages My freelance company is called Thrill Factory Designs. what else is there to say? Just ask

I am pretty open to anything. I enjoy all Pixar movies. Finding Nemo is my ultimate favourite one. Incredibles rocks as well as Monsters Inc. Madagascar...Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a great movie. I love comedies like Dodgeball, Zoolander, Spaceballs, Elf. Whatever indie movie Jill picks out is usually rad, or strange.

Heroes:

A smart woman once told me that you can't find someone who is 100% hero-worthy. To me, I don't have heros, but I do have a lot of infulences.Vinnie and Derek are two major drummer influences. Salvidor Dali is a huge infulence on my art as well as Pete Wonsowski. Davey Von Bohln and Matt Skiba are great influences on music writing too. I also admire anyone who dedicates themselves to something they have a strong passion for. Lastly, Bryan, my older brother. Without him, I wouldn't have the drive to drum!
