Now Bringin' The Heat For ANARCHY CLUB

About Me

I've been playing the drums for just about as long as I can remember. My dad played and his dad played before him. It's in my blood, baby! I was in a Boston band for a lotta years called El Camino. We did pretty well. Now I'm in a band called Hot Knives. Both of these bands have pages here as well. A bit on the heavier side, the 'Knives gimme a chance to really flex influences like Bonham, Ginger Baker, Carmine/Vinnie Appice, Peter Criss/Eric Carr, Bill Ward, Nico McBrain, etc., whereas El Camino was more about Charlie Watts and Jerry Shirley, who are way cool, too, kids. Let's not forget Clyde Stubblefield (see James Brown). Recently, I was given an amazing opportunity to join the band Anarchy Club. They are a well-established band with songs in both of the Guitar Hero video games, which has afforded them a huge fanbase. Check them out in my top 8. They rip. Anyway, when I'm not playing the drums I'm a designer/Art Director at a massive ad agency in Downtown Boston. The very notion of being a rock musician, however, makes even the most corporate of situations bearable. I can't recommend it enough. It's never too late to pick up an instrument. Don't spend your life workin', folks.value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tjSgdwGlLi8" ..Myspace Contact Tables , hosting by Imgdump.net.. width="425" height="350" ..

Thanks to all who lost their minds and shed their clothes during the Anarchy Club set at the Middle East. It's a Samurai-like honor to be playing with those guys. Big-ups to Bang Camaro for their comm...
