About Me

I listen to Rockabilly and Psychobilly. I dig going to gigs and catching great live music, rod runs, and other Kulture type things.

My Interests


Tattoos, drinking, good friends, seeing bands, playing pool, double bass players, songwriters, artists (draw, paint, tattoo flash, etc), skulls, 8-balls, argyle, taking photos, creepers...

You are Psychobilly! You have an insane passion for old horror movies & dead things. You also have a tendency to get really drunk & poke dead things with sticks, if not something more.
People often mistake you for a punk & your hair for a Mohawk, but screw them.

What kind of good music are you?

I'd like to meet:

People into Rockabilly, Psychobilly...(you get my drift). Cool, genuine and easy-going people........ NOT pretenders, fakers, posers or friend-collectors!
If you have your profile set to private and you wish to add me as a friend, please send me a message by way of introduction (it's polite to do so). If I can't read about you and your interests, I'm not going to accept the request.

adopt your own virtual pet!
