What time does the band go on?

About Me

My name is Brenda and I'm a 100% Wildchild. I'm rarely at home cuz I'm usually at a show. Yes, I am a concert addict...I really can't LIVE without a good live show!!! National band, international band, local band--it doesn't matter.

I was born and raised in Milwaukee, but I lived in Hollywood very briefly (very late 80's). I've been hangin' and watching bands in the local bar/music scene since '83. I am a former DJ and local "goth music" promoter also. But I still might book and promote a show occasionally if and when the need presents itself. There's a whole lot more I could say, but that's really all you need to know about me at this point.

adopt your own virtual pet!

My Interests

Concerts, Concerts and more Concerts, lots of Guitars (preferably of the Gretsch variety!), Music of all kinds...etc.

I'd like to meet:

Who'd I like to meet--as in musicians? I've met just about everyone I love...seriously. Yeah, there's some I haven't, but they are really the unreachable ones like Bono and Bowie!

Who'd I like to meet otherwise? Hmmm...I'd like to meet some more fellow concert *fiends* like myself. Perhaps some people who's stack of concert ticket stubs rivals mine? (Good luck!) And I'd love to meet people who have the same type of sarcastic & sadistic sense of humor as I do.

Attn Bands: I'm sort of picky. I will listen to your stuff. If I like you, I'll add you. Kthx.

Attn Myspace whores and friend collectors, etc: I'm mostly on myspace for music...obviously. Outside of the bands, musicians, record labels, clubs, and magazines that I support on my friend's list (who are clearly the majority), of all my "real" friends on here there are only about 4 or 5 people that I have never met in person--yet. So I'm very picky with who I add. I've denied more people than I've approved, so beware--if I don't know you, I won't add you. My only exceptions to this are if you are someone I talk to online via an email list or message board on a regular basis.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST: If your page is "pimped" beyond all recognition to the point that all your info doesn't even fit on the screen without having to scroll forever both ways--or it takes a billion years to load because you have so much "flash" & "quiz" crap on it, DON'T ADD ME! I realize it's "your" space, but if I can't see who you are because your crap won't load, I simply won't add you to "my" space. That's life.

Music:

70's glam, 70's rock, 80's glam, 80's rock, Classic Rock, Cockrock, Deathrock, Gothabilly, Gothrock, Glamrock, Horror Punk, Classic Metal (that NuMetal shit sucks!!!), OLD Country Western, Oldies (most), Psychobilly, Punk (old school ONLY), Rock N' Roll, some Industrial (mostly old school only--like the old Wax Trax stuff!). Basically as long as there's a guitar in there, I'll give it a listen, but I tend to lean toward "the dark side". I love acoustic guitars too, but IF you play a Gretsch guitar (like any of the guitars pictured on my profile here), you get bonus points! Meow! Hollowbody guitars like that, just have "that sound"!

I've got a QUITE a varied taste in Music as you can probably tell...things like (yes, in alphbetical order cuz I'm organized like that):

AC/DC (w/Bon ONLY), All The Pretty Horses, Bad English, Bauhaus, The Beatles, Bellevue Suite, Big John Bates & The Voodoo Dollz, David Bowie, Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, The Clash, Chris Connelly, Concrete Blonde, The Cramps, The Cult, The Cure, The Damned, Dennis DeYoung, Diary of Dreams, Dio, Doc Hammer, Dogs D'Amour, Dynasty, Einsturzende Neubauten, Elvis, Fields of the Nephilim, Five Card Studs, Peter Gabriel, Gene Loves Jezebel (w/ Jay Aston ONLY), Gore Gore Girls, Lawrence Gowan, Hanoi Rocks, Jane's Addiction, Jellyfish, Jet, Journey (old & new), Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, KISS, Keel, Ron Keel (solo), Light Up, Lords of New Church, Love & Rockets, Mission (UK), Michael Monroe, Mother Love Bone, Motley Crue, Motorhead, New York Dolls, Peter Murphy, Ozzy/Randy, Pauvre Maltea, Perple Rain, Prince, Pink Floyd, Iggy Pop, Psychedelic Furs, Queen (w/Freddie ONLY), Queensryche, Ramones, Redd Kross, Lee Rocker, Rolling Stones(70's era only), The Shadowpeople, Seraphim Shock, Brian Setzer, Stray Cats, Stevie Nicks, Styx (old & especially the NEW), Sweet, Tenacious D, T. Rex/Marc Bolan, Tuff, U2, Urn, John Waite, Butch Walker, WiszdomStone, White Stripes, Yikes--and the list goes on!

Movies:

Road Warrior, Dogs in Space, Born to Boogie, Hedwig, Rocky Horror, Boondock Saints, most Horror/Vampire flix--preferably the old stuff w/Bela & Boris. Some old classic silents--like Metropolis and Nosferatu. Old B & W's are where it's at! And anything with Bronson, Depp, Oldman, Spacey, Walken, Dafoe, or the always sexy Jack Black! Outside of movies, I like a few "adult" cartoons like Happy Tree Friends, Joe Cartoon, Ren & Stimpy & South Park because I like things that are demented, sick and twisted...and bloody!

Television:

24, American Idol, Criminal Minds, all the CSI's (and most of the other crime investigation shows), Hell's Kitchen, House, Jericho, Las Vegas, Rockstar, Ugly Betty...but I'd rather have music on than the TV most of the time if I'm even home.

Books:

Vampire/Horror, Dark Erotica, anything Music related...recently read "Tommyland", by Tommy Lee. And Nikki Sixx's "Heroin Diaries" is due out soon...maybe? Yo, Nikki--let's go with that thing already!

Heroes:

This page isn't big enough to list them all...But if I had to pick some, It'd have to be my fave peeps, and musicians in my local music scene. We have some talent here that the whole world should know about! There's quite a few on my friends page...
