The Infamous SHAKES of O.C.

FUCK YOU!!! That's My Name...

About Me



FAST AND LOUD
PUNK AND PROUD
NOT ALL TREASURE...
IS SILVER AND GOLD
GOOD MORNING HEARTACHE...
YOU'RE LIKE AN OLD FRIEND, COME TO SEE ME AGAIN

ME...
Well... It's pretty basic. I'm definitely not pefect, but I'm not the worst of humans either... I'm a nice guy who likes to hang with really solid people. I'm a 37 year old O.C. Punk, with a brain, who's been in the scene for as long as I can remember... Moving from place to place, city to city leaving a trail of disarray & confusion behind me since I was seven. I've never lived in one home for more than a year since I was born... A true Pirate... I guess. I want that to change. I've pretty much done it all, seen it all, and lost the most important people to my heart in the process. I still want marriage, kids and everything that comes with it... when and if it comes to me of course. Nothing suprises me, dissapoints me or really gets me excited anymore... I want that to change as well. I have what I call a home today. A nice big place in Costa Mesa that I share with my cats. Sometimes I think I don't deserve it, but I have a great job and I've stuck by it and have been very loyal and worked very hard to be able to afford it... and from where I come from, it's a mansion. My friends are the greatest people in the world and they give me support and love when I need it... and even when I don't. Life is good.
I've been a drummer for about 25 years and have been blessed to play and share the stage with some of the best musicians I've ever heard and known. I can honestly say that without music and performing, my life wouldn't be where it is today. Well, that and quitting dope and alcohol almost 10 years ago. Performing is a release, as an artist and as a top candidate for an anger management program... It keeps me level. I'm not looking for it to get me rich... just keep me sane.
Zachary P., Daniel B. and I have finished up the debut 'GUNS DON'T ARGUE' album, "... And It Was All A Blur", which is available at all of our shows. Use the link below to request an add and check out some pics and songs from the new album. Thanks for the support.
With all of that, I still manage to work as a Drum Technician for such bands as The Cadillac Tramps , Manic Hispanic , The Adolescents , T.S.O.L. and recently for The Dickies ... It keeps me busy and I love doing it. There is nothing better in life than working on a stage... Whether playing or setting up!!!
Check the Calendar below to see when I'm working, playing or just hanging out and come by and say "hey"!
And when I get a chance to be at home... It's Me, "Kitty" & "Bones"... Just hangin' out, watchin' "My Name Is Earl", "The Office", "Scrubs", "30 Rock" and "Studio 60"... It's about all the TV I ever get to watch.
