"YOU TAKE THE "L" OUT OF LOVER...AND IT'S OVER"

About Me

Started around with the guitar in the early stages up-side down. My first influences, My mom who is a awesome classical guitarist. My father who is a jazz bassist on several Ella Fitzgerald albums. But most of my style came from my lil bro Kenny, who has 2 gold albums with Allied Artists, Renegade, And my cousin Mark who is the percussionist for Smash Mouth. From there I used my family background to become the musician I am now. Grew up in the Los Angeles and hung around lots of musicians , started working as a roadie for LA's Hottest!! group..."Miraj" ...with Tony Caggiano, former guitarist for Michael Anthony of Van Halen , When they were called Mammoth, and Michael's band was Snake. We did alot of Hollywood. Like The Whisky, The Troubordor and Garzarri's and The Roxy. Seen alot early bands make it..and alot that did not. Worked as a sound man at the old Starwood Rock Club in Hollywood...with acts like ..Quiet Riot..Dante Fox (Great White).. Yankee Rose..Black Flag..Circle Jerks..and GnR. The scene was getting old. Moved to Minnesota in 90'. The music here was so open for so many acts...totally blew my mind. So started playing with the band Mystery for a few years..did a few shows..at the local spots...but was not the right combination. I then put an ad in the local paper..hooked up with drummer and Bassist, and singer..played everywhere...went into an Amazing studio ..to record our first CD..self titled in 99' and again in 08' to record "Solar"..The past few years I've been jamming with different musicians seeking the right people to keep the flames burning.. Right now I am working with Jeff Lyons on Bass, and Tim on the Drums to explore a different realm, a new band, and to bring peace and hard rock to the planet.. well it is official.....the Flame is burning....and FIRE is back!!! we have a whole new line up....The Long Hair (Mike Annis)..on vocals! Jeffery Lyons and Tigers and Bears..oh my! on the Bass! ...Tim Rockin Bruley...kickin on the drums.... ....and Noodles....that's me...the lefty shredder! so come on down....and see us Rock the House...on...
