About Me

<I am a drummer by profession. I have played drums in Dark Star Orchestra for almost ten years now and it's been an incredible journey (Yes...What a long strange trip it's been!).When I'm not spending time with my lovely wife Shannon, I spend a lot of my time producing original music. www.myspace/dinoenglish will take to my producer page. I released an Album in 2005 called Shimmy Shack (find out more about it here...http://www.myspace.com/ShimmyShackMusic .I am currently working on several projects. I'm approaching the tale end of a project of producing a CD for a band from St. Louis called The Dysfunctional with my old Vitamin A co-founder Tony Vrooman on Vocals and Guitar.I have currently started work with my Dark Star Orchestra band mates on a recording project which involves working on original music.... Yes you heard correctly. I'm not yet sure if the whole band will contribute to this recording project or not. I am just happy to work with any of them on this.Another major project I am working on is called D.R.U.M., which features Rob Koritz and me taking live-recorded tracks from the "drumz" segment of Dark Star Orchestra shows and remixing them into songs. This project probably falls in the Trance category.And there is my continual work with my Z-Land partner Steve Cakouros. Check out the "myspace" page for each of these projects through my producer site at www.myspace.com/dinoenglish...just click on the "Dino English - Producer" link from top friends list.If you are a Dark Star Orchestra fan, enjoy some rare DSO type pictures, and I write s blogs about some of my DSO experiences, and even post a little video so be sure to check back from time to time. There is a few photo's up now. Thanks for stopping by! Do come again.a href="http://www.myspace.com/noblecooley" target = blank>

How ticket prices are set

Here is the skinny on how ticket prices are set. The short version is that the promoter (not the venue) sets the price. There are all sorts of things that go into that equation though. Basically, band...
