Static

I am the youngest of eight brothers and sisters. I grew up on the Nassau side of the Queens Long Island border. I went to catholic school from first through 8th grade. In 5th grade I earned the nick name "Static". At one time most of my friends didn't even know my real name. When I was 14 I bought a drum set. It wasn't until 1995 that I had my first serious band. The name was Basket Case. A cover band that played classic rock, hard rock, and popular rock music. Then, in 1997, the band would transform into the Dead End Kidz. You can check out the my space site at www.myspace.com/dekmusic for more info on that. In 2002 I had to "retire" from the music scene with bad tinnitus. Recently I have begun playing out again with DEK and with a band named Bable. You can check www.irenetunes.com or www.myspace.com/irenetunes for more info on that. In 1996 I was married, and in 1998 my wife and I had a son, and in 2001 my wife and I had a daughter. I'm mostly a stay at home dad, and I work part time as a machinist.
