I'm So New Wave Now

About Me

I've been a nightclub promoter and DJ in the Dallas area for over ten years: Raves ('93-'94), The Hideous Couch Show on KNON 89.3FM ('96-'97) ,Christine (Industrial Night) at The Impala in FT. Worth (1997), Re:Mission (Industrial Night) at Unfilter'd in Deep Ellum (1998), and I've been a resident DJ at The ChURcH (goth club) for the past nine years. I write, perform, record, and produce for the bands SOLEMN ASSEMBLY , PROGRAM 88 , VAMPIRE CATHEDRAL , CRASH FETISH, and RUST VIRUS. I'm also the resident VJ at THE LIZARD LOUNGE in Dallas...so if you are a visual artist or if you're in a band, send me YOUR DVDs!!!I've been Spinning 70's/80's Punk, New Wave, Rock, Industrial, Metal, Pop, Hair Bands, and old school rap at RENO'S CHOP SHOP SALOON every Wednesday night from 10pm - 2am for the last year and a half. Reno's is located at 210 N.Crowdus between Elm Street and Indiana.I Love driving around aimlessly downtown after midnight, and I'm always looking for more "after midnight" friends to share the adventure with. I am also a big 80's new waver and I love 80's flicks.Click here to see all the new products at our Solemn Assembly Store on CafePress!....
