you don't always need a point to be sharp

About Me

I play guitar/vox in the band UDET www.myspace.com/udet and I co-own Lit Lounge/Fuse Gallery which is a pretty cool bar/rock venue/art gallery in the East Village of New York City. I also book bands at this venue so send me a link if you want to play Lit. I prefer to book punk/experimental noise bands but I also like a good melody now and again so any interesting Rock band can always find a home at Lit. I hope I'm not a music snob. I hate those guys and we've all met them. We don't take a cut of the door so we can keep the cover low at $6.

My Interests
