About Me

CLABS
WELCOME to a VAGUE history of CRITTER ART & MUSIC, I know its terrible and uncalled for, but its FREE right? THE ONLOOKERS was a project band I formed with Infamous guitar players JEFF FOGERTY & TED FALCONI (Flipper) with ED LUNDELL on bass. After just leaving legendary punk band FANG, (1990) joining INTENSIFIED CHAOS (1991)and ended up opening the infamous Max R&R record WESTERN FRONT. I was also a drum TECH for EXODUS on their Bonded by Blood tour. Im not really known for my music,(go figure!) Im known more for Building ROBOTS and weird machines in my LAB in Emeryville CA. ENJOY some photos of ROBOTS and WEIRD SCULPTURES from when CRITTER LABS MACHINE WERX ruled the SF, Bay Area club scene in the mid 90s. If you where involved in any of these misguided, shoddy and illfated projects, please comment..I would love to hear from you.(Im gonna post more stuff as soon as I get it from my peoples) Critter & rockets A CRITTER CREATURE..

Influences: AT age 4-5 I loved the soundtrack to PETER PAN (I wont grow up!)At age 7 or 8 I stole my parents BEATLES and MOODY BLUES records, Listened to HAIR and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR over and over..Always liked KODACHROME by Paul Simon, then one day I found KISS!! this led me to QUEEN, X, and THE WHO, STONES and AEROSMITH while all the time DISCO was in the backround, then.. THE SEX PISTOLS came to the U.S., The film PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE made me want to play the drums and be in a band!! I was like 12 or 13, I listened to alot of SABBATH and PINK FLOYD, played drums in my dads basement for hours at a time after school. As a senior at BERKELEY HIGH SCHOOL I met a guitarist named TOM FLYNN and played songs he had for a while, He called it FANG. FANG kicked me out after a year or so and I started drumming for INTENSIFIED CHAOS fronted by ROB NOXIOUS whom I had met in 7th grade. I met JEFF FOGERTY and we jammed alot of HARD ROCK, I was into GANG of FOUR and TALKING HEADS, DISCHARGE, and MOTORHEAD! I also began building MECHANICAL things. I was fascinated with robots from 50s B movies. at 19 my parents kicked me out and I moved into HELLHOUSE where i met and lived with EXODUS and others, all the time playing drums and creating fantastic machines that astounded everybody, at 21 I leased a ART LOFT in Emeryville and begen creating WEIRD mechanical creatures to try to take over the BAY AREA, I was almost succsessfull! ...to be continued sometime in the future..thanks for reading...
Sounds Like: CRITTER's Music has always been on the fly sorta real sloppy EXPERIMENTAL punk. The recordings where quick and cheap and done whenever the oportunity arose. CRITTER would recruit musicians from other bands mostly to flesh out IDEAS and projects. PROJECTS came and went so the HISTORY is very vague. BLENDING robotic art and MUSIC, the line between ART & MUSIC was very thin. AFTER a few years of MIXING the two aspects of creativity, MACHINES where built that would play the MUSIC combining the once thought to be seperate projects into one GRAND MASTERPEICE that took on a life of its own. MECHANICAL BANDS, with ROBOTIC MUSICIANS that played MACHINE PUNK!!
