About Me

i was in a band/posse/group of armed vigilantes called Suiciety that tore up every hall and bar and house party we were invited to play (whether we got to play or not). i play acoustic folk/punk, whatever you wanna call it, i do it with a shit-eating grin in hopes that at least for a moment myself and others can share a little piece of that inspirational magic we all thrive on. i need it. this world is fucked. our lives are fucked. we are all crazy wingnuts with hopes and dreams of our own, and we all should be doing our best to nurture that fire, through good times and bad. i love to travel. i love to drink the beer, sometimes excessively. i love hanging out with good people and sharing moments of wild abandon and craziness. are you down for this? ARE YOU DOWN FOR THE REVOLUTIONARY WINGNUT HEDONISTA STRUGGLE FOR ALL OUT ONE FIST IN THE AIR FUCK THE POLICE FUCK THE LAWS FUCK GREED FUCK POLITICS FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKIN-@ MUTHERFUCKER!!!!! umm, anyway, i'll play anywhere i can, just ask and i'll try to make it. i got a 16 song cd-r with more to come. so yeah, get in touch, we can share good times, share stories, and share whatever magic is left in this fucked up world. cheers!
