About Me
The current line-up of Squirtgun features several noteworthy punk veterans. Drummer Mike Felumlee was formerly of the legendary ALKALINE TRIO, the SMOKING POPES, and DUVALL. Bassist Mass Giorgini, formerly of SCREECHING WEASEL and COMMON RIDER, is also a reknowned punk rock producer, having worked on records for ANTI-FLAG, RISE AGAINST, the QUEERS, the CODE, the METHADONES, and also with artists such as Billie Joe Armstrong of GREEN DAY, and Kris Roe of the ATARIS. Squirtgun guitarist Flav Giorgini was the designing force behind Guitarpunk guitars, designing signature models for Matt Skiba and Dan Andriano of ALKALINE TRIO, and building guitars used by bands as diverse as ALLISTER, GWAR, and MONSTER MAGNET.Squirtgun debuted on the punk scene in 1995, appearing first with the opening song ("Social") to the hit film Mallrats. The following two years including tours with BLINK-182, LESS THAN JAKE, NOFX, AT THE DRIVE IN, and many more reknowned punk bands. Their video for the song "Mary Ann," guest starring Dawn Wells (who portrayed the namesake of the song in the 60's television series Gilligan's Island) was released in 1997, and reached MTV's 120 Minutes top 40 videos for May of 1997. A few months later, the band went on hiatus, while band members Flav Giorgini and Matt Hart worked on advanced degrees, and Mass Giorgini joined now-legendary band SCREECHING WEASEL.After a six-year absence, SQUIRTGUN is now back in action, fronted by Matt Hart (now a college professor), with Mass Giorgini on bass (SCREECHING WEASEL disbanded in 2002), Mike Felumlee on drums (he left ALKALINE TRIO in 2002), and Flav Giorgini (Now a PhD in Molecular Genetics) on guitar. SQUIRTGUN is poised to make their presence felt, releasing their strongest album yet, Fade to Bright, on Honest Don's Records in late 2003.
