STARBOYS

FUCKING WITH ROCK AND ROLL SINCE 1989!!

About Me

This band was started by a total cranky asshole who has a problem with EVERYTHING!! I met most of the rest of the rest of band(except Apocalypse) one night in October 1987. I knew Apocalypse from my neighborhood in North Burnaby because I worked at this video store called VIDEO SHACK and him and his sister Josie lived down the street and would come in all the time to rent shitty movies (I was making just over 4 DOLLARS an hour and sometimes I'd work these 12 hour fucking days with the smell of the restaurant next door seeping in with the air conditioning!) GUNS'n'ROSES "Appetite for Destruction" was kicking everyone's ass, MOTLEY had just put out "Girls, Girls, Girls", AEROSMITH were back and soon to be dead with "Permanent Vacation" and we all loved that first FASTER PUSSYCAT record cause it was so retarded(Smash Alley) Was that STEVE JONES solo record out then? You know, "Fire and Gasoline"?? There I was with dyed yellow 4 inch hair and I could barely play guitar (same thing now!) and we're in Steve Scott's garage. Dan and his brother Disco Dusco (pronounced DOUCHE-CO) were there along with the future yet pre nose job Masterbeater and soon to be Armageddon. Anyway, I'm fucking around on the guitar and Armageddon is staring a hole through me. I had no idea he could play guitar until a couple of years later when he started playing that riff from "Spirit of Radio" by Rush. I was amazed cause I did'nt know he could play that good and it had to be a fucking Rush song!!Around that time Vancouver and its suburbs were awash with a million crappy glam bands and most of them played at this fucking nightmare called "California Dreaming" in New West at the foot of the Skytrain station. That was the impetus to start this band. Considering that glam is back in an "ironic" way it's all kind of ironic. We were really into RIFF ROCK and there were a few albums we worshipped at the altar of: THE CULT-ELECTRIC, CIRCUS OF POWERS DEBUT, ZODIAC MINDWARP AND THE LOVE REACTION'S "HIGH PRIEST OF LOVE" AND "TATTOED BEAT MESSIAH", IGGY POP'S "INSTINCT'' JASON AND THE SCORCHERS "FERVOR" e.p. AND "LOST AND FOUND". There was also RAGING SLAB, THE BEASTIE BOYS, MANITOBAS WILD KINGDOM, THE DICTATORS (They came to the Town Pump in the summer of '91 and I proceeded to get on the stage and get kicked out-Twice!!) But fuck all that!!When we first got together we practiced in SECRET for 3 months, getting our shit together from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m most weekday mornings and then watching "THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO" at 12 noon. Our first practice was OCTOBER 3RD 1989. We started from the ground up: I was just learning to play bass and did'nt really sing, Masterbeater was just starting out on the drums, and only Arma and Apoca had any idea what they were doing. All very punk for a band in the middle of a metal quagmire!! Don't get me wrong: We had a big metal influence but we always loved PUNK!! I never understood the PUNK/METAL war of the early 80's. I mean it was all US against THEM was'nt it??Anyway, one day, our secret was found out and we debuted our first song "LOUDER THAN GOD" for our friends who all thought it was all pretty rocking and these guys were more experienced that us and blah blah blah! We debuted at the ROCK CELLAR on May 5th 1992 and the rest is drug addled, alchohol fuelled history. And now we are broken and back, but this BACK never BREAKS. How you bend to you break if you're already broke??..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5 I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1 I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1

We played for around 30 minutes with no monitors but went over pretty well) SLASH PUPPET (They were this hype band from Toronto and we played the TOWN PUMP with them, the singers head was shaved,all the head shaving started after VULGAR VIDEO came out!) THE BIG F (They were a hype band from L.A. that was all over RIP magazine at the time and had every critic going gaga over them for awhile) GRANDMA MOSES (This was Todd from NASTY's new band (defore him and ROB started the McCRACKINS) FAKE IT BIG TIME (Randy Rampage and buddy from Ground Zeros new band at the time, think we played the ROCK CELLAR with them) ARAGATHOR (One of the asshole buddys of these clowns tried ripping off my $390 dollar RIPLEYS LEATHERS jacket at the time, found it stuffed down the tailgate of a pick-up truck) CRYPTOPSY (Played with these guys because they were friends of our good buddys DEAD CRONY from MONTREAL who ended up on HEROIN in New Westminister) THE EPITOMIES (This hardcore band from I don't know where whose contingent of skinhead fans proceeded to give up the finger our whole set) DEAD CRONY (The band so nice I mention them twice, this band consisted of SIX on vocals, MENT AL (guitar), SPACE JAY (bass) and NO LIP (drums), they were a great band to party with and were a cross between Sabbath and Slayer, RITUAL!!!!) REVOLUTION GONE (Had Jamie who went onto our good friends CRUSH GROOVE and they are all lost in space) AUGUST FROST (Played Hotel California on Granville for some dumb talent competition thing put on by CLOSET ROCK editor AMBER along with MINORITY. I think AF's drum set won the competition actually!)

S.S.I.K. (KISS tribute band at 86th Street Music Hall with members from CAUSTIC THOUGHT, I believe) BASKETCASE (Played with these guys a few times, the singer Chris had some crazy tattoo on his back, wings or some shit) THE McCRACKINS (These are fun and continue to be fun, wrote an article about them for CLOSET ROCK magazine) CRUSH GROOVE (They took their name from the rap movie and played this kind of groove oriented that was meant to die, SORRY!! Funk Metal was quite big at the time and is thankfully forgotten!) BLACK DOGS OF DEPRESSION (This band would rather be forgotten by MIKE KROEGER or NICKLEBACK, it was one of his first along with BUDLEY HAMFIST jr (BRAD HAMMOND) and we played 3 nights at the OLD AMERICAN, myself with STREP THROAT, viva la aspirin and beer!) SAUCY JACK (Named after the never seen SPINAL TAP rock opera, this band was a volatile mix of too much drinking, drugs and violence that ended bad! Our current bass player IRISH TIM was in this nightmare) THE TORTURE ANIMALS (A DEAD CRONY off shoot with BRANT of Rubber Room fame, they dressed in white painting suits with hats and shit, it was pretty funny) THE INSIPIDS (At the F440 RaceTrack in Tsawassen) FACEPULLER (These guys were retarded LOUD, we opened for them upstairs at the LUNATIC FRINGE and they cleared the place out and everyone went downstairs. This was before the Fringe became THE ABYSS and the upstairs was a chinese KARAOKE bar. The bathroom was full of metalheads and Chinese gang members) TOAD LIQUOR (Don't remember much except these guys had a name dispute with some other band and had to change it) GALLAHADS PAD (These guys were from ONTARIO and we just talked to them last year about playing some festival that ain't happened) MUTANT STARFISH (Played THE ROCK CELLAR with these guys a couple of times and the singer always looked like buddy from BODY DOUBLE)
Sounds Like: A dumpster full of rats getting crushed in a giant vacuum!! Just kidding! Its metal and punk and a bit of Springsteen with that all important factor: A SENSE OF HUMOUR!!
