*********************************
******** PERSONAL BIO ********
In 1980 I began singing and writing songs and lyrics,
AND I STILL DO, under the alias
"CAPTAIN ANARCHY"
for the notorious old school
"Spraypaint Heroes of Punk Rock" band
from the Westside that's called
H. x P.
(pronounced "H P", the "x" is silent -
it's a ghetto graffiti punk rock
"homeboy" thang "Yo" !)
that has played support slots over the years
for major national touring punk rock headliners
like Bad Religion and Social Distortion, etc.,
and has just released a 5 song EP
co-produced by legendary drummer/producer Derek O'Brien
of Social Distortion/Adolescents fame.
H. x P. - In the 1980's Mocking the "System" - (Pictured Center): Captain Anarchy as "The Pig", (Pictured Left to Right): Don of the Dead as "The Priest", Kid Kaos as "The Pawn",
Mick Wicked as "The Suit".

*******************************************
When I was a kid growing up I got in to glitter and gutter (junkie/shock) rock in '75, then I got into punk and new wave in '78 and started going to gigs in '80 and playing gigs in '81
(oh shit..... I'm dating myself - and I'm not supposed to do that, now am I ? hahaha...).
Oh well, here's a live pic of me from 1983 -
I grew up in Culver x City
("The Heart of Screenland"), smack dab between Venice/Santa Monica (aka "Dogtown") and Hollywood, CALIF.
On the weeknights my teenage friends and I used to sneak out of the house to party with other punk rockers and some of the Suicidal Tendencies original band members and other related Venice bands like Neighborhood Watch, No Mercy, etc. and the "Suicidal Cycos" homies at Mar Vista Park, which was the only cool place close to where we lived where punks hung out and partied. We ditched school a lot too and hung out there or at Venice Beach on the boardwalk or in S.M. at the mall and at the hip stores Aardvarks and NaNa.
We also ditched school in the day or cruised up on the weekends in the day or night and hung out in Hollywood on Melrose Ave. and panhandled and partied in the alleys behind or in the stores (anyone remember Jim and his store Poseur ?).
We also went to gigs and hung out afterwards at Oki Dogs, Motel Hell, Errol Flynn's, etc. with other punks and sometimes some of the heads from the L.A.D.S. (L.A. Death Squad), who gave me my nickname "Captain Anarchy" because I was a kid singer in a socio-political punk band that dressed like a punk rock Zorro, and members of H.R.P. (R.I.P. - Eric "Shooter" McVean) and various heads from the Dogpatch Winos and The Firm (anyone remember Tony ? He used to watch out for us !).
Some nights we used to squat at the Sarah Street house in North Hollywood and get rides to raid the McDonald's dumpsters for food in the morning from the homies from F.F.F. (Fight For Freedom). I ran away and lived at the house on and off for a while with Eric "Shooter" McVean (H.R.P.) when my mom kicked me out for shaving my head, ditching school, staying out until 2am after gigs and coming home drunk.
My punk band H. x P. were supposed to play our very first gig at a crazy party at the house one night but in the ensuing chaos our bass got jacked. But we didn't care, we liked Sarah House and I liked staying there, it was fun and it was my first experience living away from home. Besides, we ate well every day thanks to the F.F.F. homies and we cranked the tunes, got drunk, smoked herb and clove cigarettes and did what we wanted.
It's a bummer that those days are kind of a beer-goggled blur and hence I don't remember a lot of the people I knew back then and/or I have since lost touch with some of them since. I'm just talking here about various people and groups that I knew or hung out with when I was growing up, I ain't "from" anywhere, I just know a lot of different people.
Most of my friends and I were never actually in any particular punk "gang", so don't be asking me where I'm "from", because the only place I'm "from" is The Kingdom of Heaven under the Command of God !!!
We caught a lot of flack from some of the heads on all fronts because we lived between the "territories" and floated between them, but we also had a lot of friends on all sides, and we still do (so don't fuck around fool.... ).
A lot of people kind of felt like the whole punk-on-punk violence thing was ultimately a large part of what killed the scene, be it from misunderstandings in the pit, or rivalries between the various punk gangs, or whatever. But it was also other factions with other motives and police-on-punk violence as well that contributed, not just the homeboys or the other reasons I stated above, so no one specific is really to blame.
Regardless, ultimately the clubs just wouldn't book the bands anymore because the scene in general just got too violent, for all kinds of various reasons, and the clubs always got smashed up in the wake or raided by the cops, which was a real bummer.
The bottom line is that the scene just got too big; there were just too many new people from all different walks of life coming in to it all at once, and that's how "shit happens".
It is good, however, to see that a lot of the homies from the various factions or "punk rock gangs" all seem to get along for the most part nowadays, and that punk has come back in a big way, even if it's not quite the same as it used to be, or never will..........

Additionally, I sing under the alias "Captain Marcus McHungwell" (known on the High Seas as the infamous pirate "Captain Anarchy") and I am the primary songwriter in my latest breaking new project that is called GALLOW'S END.
It is primarily a classically influenced medieval dark metal band (or "baroque" metal, if you will...), but features crossover influences of punk, pop-punk, nu-romantic, horror rock and various time period oriented musical stylings as well, along with a coinciding image and stage show.
We are in the process of writing new songs, building our website and following, developing clothing and armour, and shooting photos (and flintlock pistols too......).

AND IF YOU DON'T THINK IT'S COOL
TO LIKE EARLY MOTLEY CRUE
(or glam and glam-metal, for that matter)
BECAUSE YOU ARE SO "PUNK ROCK"
THEN LET ME EDUCATE YOUR POSEUR ASS -
The 'Crue started out IN the punk scene playing at L.A.'s infamous punk club The Starwood,
and I STILL have a cassette tape recording
of legendary D.J. Rodney Bingenheimer (aka "Rodney on the Roq") of KROQ
playing them on his radio show in 1981
and talking to a guest D.J.
with a show like his in N.Y. about
"how different they are for a 'punk' band".....
SO YOU CAN JUST GET TO BLOWIN' !
*******************************************
I am the Ultimate Decadent Anarchist...... I have virtually attained being as free as one can be and still subsist in the fascist facade we call "society", and though I am a vegetarian and I enjoy the wilderness I have too much fun exploiting and being entertained by our "said" "society" to become a fuckin' tree-hugging, granola-eating, crunchy-ass Grizzly Adams-style hippie !!!
I am known as being a
"Fashionably Late Man of Leisure".
I'm Wild and Free.
I live the random Rock Star life of excess
TO THE FULLEST !
I Eat like a King, Drink like a Roman, Sleep like a Cat (or Van Winkle, depending), F**k like a Beast and Party like Spiccoli (or like it's 1999!) whenever I Damn Well Please!
I ONLY obey rules when they suit
my need or fancy,
I have NO routine and NO ONE
tells ME what to do. Period.
I do exactly what I want to do and I wear the different types of clothes and sport the various images that I want WHEN I want and that in part is what qualifies me as a legitimate anarchist punk rocker.
If I want to "rock 'n roll all night and party everyday" then that's exactly what I do. And the entire operation is bank-rolled by each and every one of you - the general public, and my adoring fans, whose loyal support keeps me rolling in the dough! All of you support me in more ways than you will ever be able to imagine; for the facets of society are the cards up my sleeve. Every time you "clock in" and collect, spend money, see me play, buy my merch, listen to my music or promote me in some way you contribute to my delinquent lifestyle, and I L-U-V YOU for it !!!
I look forward to flipping thee back some bounty or kicking ye down some wares upon wake-ee bake-ee at thy pad some day (after having polished off yon supply the night before) as I clear out the fridge, toast the phone, freeze the computer, blow up the head & smoke-up the joint. Thank you very much... LMFAO !!!
- Just kidding..... (?)
No, but on a more serious note... I am an eccentric yet very open-minded individual with many interests such as music, dancing, art, fashion, hiking, camping, films, history, etc.. Actually, most people seem to think I am a very nice person with a fairly decent sense of morals, ethics and values (aside from my occasional sarcastic-egotist humor and/or my "flirtatious reputation" with the ladies, that is.... or of course the occasional punk rock fits of beligerence, dissension or aggression that I sometimes exhibit....).
Many also say I keep very nice friends.
For some time now I have have dated various incredibly wonderful, charming, lovely, intelligent and cultured ladies whom graciously allow me to be myself in true rock star fashion because they know that flirting is healthy.
I like most of the music and other things in life that interest me relatively equally, however my particular preference of the moment sways like my true-to-form whimsical,
chaotic punk rock star swagger !!!
*******************************************
I like meeting just about anyone...
I particularly like "talking shop" with other musicians or music fans. Sometimes I also like to discuss socio-political subjects, history and warfare as well (oh shit...look out... the Captain's gonna get up on his soap box.....).
I would simply like to make new friends, male or female and also hope to attract new fans for my bands as well as to network with other bands.
I like people that are nice and pleasant to be around, so if you're a belittling, condescending, patronizing individual that likes to make disparaging remarks you can just log off this site immediately before you get bitch-slapped !!!!!!
I typically don't respond to inquiries that don't include a photo unless I already know you.
