About Me


Hi, my name is Mikel, I'm a member of WESTSIDE ROCK'N'ROLL DANCE .
I play Bass in THE WILDCATS and LOU CIFER AND THE HELLIONS under the name BILL ZEBOP.
Since the late 80s I played Bass or Rhythmguitar in following bands: Somethin' Else, Mess Of Booze, Spitfire, Toto Allstar Rebels (with Tom Powder from Black Knights and Ray Neale from Shotgun), Jimmy Castle & The Knights, Black Leather, Wildcat Rock. A new project where I also play the Bass is called BACKDRAFT.
I like Rock'n'Roll since 1977 when I was 11 years old and I saw Status Quo with "Rockin' All Over The World" on German TV. From that on I knew, yes, that's what I want!!! Since 1982, when I first heard the STRAY CATS, I'm infected with ROCKABILLY and I hope I can keep rockin' til I drop!!!

My Interests

Rock'n'Roll, Rockabilly, Teddy Boy, Country, Blues, Instrumentals, Surf, 50s, Tattoos, Classic Cars, Graphic Arts, Party, Friends, Family

I'd like to meet:

Rockin' people who walk the same way I walk, and the one who makes me famous, so that I could live from music only!!!
