About Me

Ok, so I'm supposed to talk about me, me, me... Music is a pretty nice size chunk of who I am. Let's start there. Shameless self-promotion starting in 5,4,3,2,1...Former musical projects: Mondo Mod, Freddy & the Four-Gone Conclusions, Tony & the Tribesmen, and the Elevations I've also played on albums by the Avatars, the Tough & Lovely, and the Gore Gore Girls. Always interested in making noise with anyone that has heart and a soul. Currently working on demos for various projects that shall not be named at this time.I have a serious addiction for collecting records and all things Tiki.
