About Me

Sang for Offenders, now singing for Laughin' Dogs, and I run a label called Ding Dong Ditch Records. I've lived in Austin for a few years now, and it sure beats dodging bullets in Detroit. I used to be a hardened cynic, now I'm more of a cautious optimist, but good friends and good surroundings will have that effect on you.Some chucklehead asked me the other night about the best shows I ever saw. Some good ones off the top of my head: Dead Kennedys, Crucifucks, Angry Red Planet - November '85 Social Distortion - Prison Bound tour '88 Descendents, Beefeater, Dag Nasty - early '86 at the Graystone Samhain, No Trend - '86 at the Graystone JFA - '86 at Traxx Sonic Youth - Evol tour at Traxx on my 16th birthday Life Sentence - Graystone, like 5 different times, fucking killed every time Scream, Fair Warning - '87 in Windsor, Ontario 7 Seconds, Youth of Today - '87 at the Graystone (YOT replaced Slapshot on the bill) Skinny Puppy - Too Dark Park tour '90 Sisters of Mercy - Vision Thing tour '91 Siouxsie and the Banshees - Peepshow tour '88 in Royal Oak Fuck man, I could write a book. And I was straight-edge during that time, so yes I can actually remember those shows! I'm going to sell my body for medical experiments so I can buy more records. Lately I've been listening to Koro "Speed Kills", Repercussions "11 Songs EP", Kolokol "Flammer & Farger", Deep Wound "Almost Complete", D.S.B. "Kill the Phantom City", Warhead "What to do with this yearning...?"/"The Lost Self and Beating Heart" reissue, Career Suicide "Attempted Suicide", the Vicious "Alienated", Siouxsie "Kaleidoscope" and "Juju" reissues, Skinny Puppy "Mythmaker", Slits "Revenge of the Killer Slits", Frontline Assembly "Artificial Soldier", Combichrist "What the Fuck Is Wrong with You People?"...It never stops!Your results:

Another Reason I'm Proud to Be from Detroit
