Plain MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
*************Ok, I'm not to good at dates but I started playing drums in 1985. In 86'-88' Chris Chisholm (ex All Out War guitarist), and I played together with various other players and honed our skills. *************I moved to N.Y.C. in 87'. I joined a band named Posidon in late 88' with my good friend Jorge (Merauder,Harley's War,Ragmen), on vocals. We did a couple of very local shows together and both got kicked out. ********Sometime in 92' I joined Darkside N.Y.C. We've done alot of local and regional shows together with various lineups. I had alot of fun and memorable experiences with these guys. Believe it or not I'm still doing shows with this band. ************Chris asked me to help out All Out War I think in summer of 95'. That lasted a little over a year. I always loved All Out War and was happy to help. Unfortunately, I still lived in N.Y.C. and they in Newburgh, so rehearsals were beyond difficult. We also did some great local and regional shows. *********In late 95', Matt from Disassociate asked me if I would help them out. Tell the truth, I was honored, but I thought I would ruin their punk style being the metalhead that I am. Again we did some memorable local and regional shows, a five week U.S. tour, and two week tour of Japan in 96'. We have gotten back together to have fun and do a few shows. ************In 97' Jorge asked me if I could help out Merauder to do a U.S. tour w/Earth Crisis. The tour was so much fun, even though for everyone's saftey I did all the driving. Our great "tour manager" would fall asleep after a half hour of driving. I stayed with these guys for about a year and worked on stuff for their second album, but never recorded with them. ********* Some time in 97' Matt hooked me up with a tryout for The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, and I got the gig. We did about five U.S. tours, and had a blast. We got signed to Caroline, got a manager, P.R. person, ect... and it killed us. It all came to a close on new years eve 99' at CB's. ****** Now I actually write songs and play guitar in Deep In Vein. I also did the drums and some bass on the CD. I'm also playing drums for Archon, The Cutest Babyhead Ever, and The Communion. Yeah, I'm busy.*************************
