About Me

I also was a 80's Rocker.It all started with some high school buds in 1980(9th grade).ZEUS w/Jimi Burns,Greg Lorenzo,Tom Cirone, we mainly did Southern Rock,Rush,Triumph,Zep,TheCars,Thinlizzy,Black Sabbath,ZZtop.We wrote our 1st original song(It's our world too!)in our senior year,went into the studio and made a 45. Yes, a 45 pressed about 500, played a show at the high school sold all of them.We all felt like RockStars it was awesome.To this day I can't find one, so if anybody sees this and has one please send me a copy of your copy!Thanks.It was pretty cheesey but none the less it's my 1st studio project.After that in 1983 ECLIPSE w/Mike Cymmerman,Alan Hoke,Eddy Byrd,.We played some Ozzy,VH,BOC,Classic Rock. After that,all originals and maybe just one cover every now and than.Played in the band ASSAULT w/Anthony Carite,Mike Reeves,Scott Culver, from 1985-1990,MIDNIGHT HERO 1990-92. And in 92-93 Dr.No w/Mike Sheehan,Carmen,Slater.Transwishin93 w/Chris Walthy,Chot Walters,Reeves in 1993.Elmer Funk started in 1994 w/Jack Bebee,Scott Culver,Steve Kilpatrick,mixing originals & covers to play places where you can actually use the bathroom and eat the food(Dave & Busters, Maui, Eagle's pep rallys, WMMR 30th party...) unlike most of clubs we played in, now there's a step up for us. Really not liking the cover scene it felt like a job. I have one of those(Union Ironworker for 23 years).Funk jammed til 1999 when Jack left.Me,Scott & Steve started with all new material (originals songs and instrumentals) getting together once a week. In 2003 ASSAULT(Midnight hero) got together to play a reunion show for the Galaxy & Bonnies at the Woodbine.Spawned about 3 gigs from that.Went into the studio to record some of the old stuff , should be out real soon.As of July of2008 Midnight Hero has signed on with RETROSPECT RECORDS. So some pretty cool shows will be in the future. Still rockin(no tights,hairspray,eyeliner)hope to be out real soon.Check out the web page for Midnight Hero(no laughing) SEE YA!
