CRUSHING GONADS SINCE 1976!

About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
For all you bad boogie boys and boogie girls who love to get down, come out and check out the sweet sounds of your mama and papa's favorite soul & blues melodies from artists such as Gladys Knight, Otis Redding, Etta James, Wilson Pickett, James Brown, and more. SUZY BRAVO& THE SOUL REVUE are Eddie Hernandez from Sexto Sol and Maneaters of Tsavo on bass, Brant Sankey from Spies Like Us on guitar, Roland DelaCruz from Mescaleros and Masters of Love on guitar, Paul Ward from The Swindles on drums, and Suzy Bravo on vocals. Plus special guests on horns, keys, harp, and hollers. .. .. I love brothas and sistas with soul! MOUSTACHES, SAILORS, basset hounds, boxers, wrestlin', and death defying stunts. I dig on soul, funk, jazz, blues, bluegrass, ol' timey, cuban, salsa, southern, metal, doom, funk, and nowave. Previous projects include a band called HAMMERED that came inspired by shootin' beer cans, countin' possums, Molly Hatchet, Rose Tattoo, and Motorhead. Here's a picture of our asses. Before that was a band called SUZY BRAVO with a few of my favorite people in the world, Marilyn on bass and Mike Pecorra. I am founder and current President of TURBOJUGEND ALAMO CITY Here's my favorite beer. My favorite poem is by Willie Nelson, the first poem when he was-I think five read, "What'cha lookin' at me for? I ain't got nothin' to say. If you don't like the looks of me, you can look the other way." He was so nervous before he read this in front of an audience, that he picked his nose and made it bleed. Someday, I want a house with yellow roses and a pecan tree in the front. I love bar-b-ques, making' tortillas, my bad ass friends, makin' love, and mostly I LOVE TO GET PEOPLE BOOGIN'.D.B.A.P.!!!..
