WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF BIG DADDY...

About Me


"Ir Ala Caza" I am a traveling musician of the adventurous type...
Roller. Rocker. Nature boy. Range Rover. Freshmaker. I also have a penchant for standing alone in the middle of the desert. I dig GOOD Irish Whiskey. I also have a low tolerance for bullshit. Being part Irish and part Viking with a dash of Welsh thrown in, I have been told that I am half saint and half bastard. Go Figure. I believe in connecting the dot's, running with scissors, and feeding the bears. Blah, Blah, Blah... I have toured with indies and majors. I have had the pleasure of sharing stages with everyone from "The Godfathers", "The Pixies", and "Dread Zeppelin" to "Redd Kross", "Tool", "Soundgarden" and many more. I also like to chew gum. If you like, slide me an email and maybe I will answer it. I currently use Tama drums and Vater drumsticks.
Frontman David Bierman and I have a current project named SWiG Our latest CD is called "True Grit". There are also a few tracks from our 1999 release "Furia" at Killing Time Productions

My Interests

Music, film, art, vintage crap, photography, tattoo's, dogs, guitars, drums, vikings, playing roulette, filthy jokes, intoxication, pinup girls, graphic design, motor sports, molten lava, The Hubbell Telescope, ancient history, old cars, observing, travel, science (not math), speaking my mind, the outdoors, mountain biking, camping, fun, adventure...oh yeah, and girls with red hair. Also, wormholes, house on the rock, groom lake, bigfoot, and the ohio grass-man. I can also juggle... and throw and axe. Not at the same time. Few people know this (until now), but once out of the blue, I was attacked by "Morganna the kissing bandit." Also, taking a few things from my "incident" list... I have been hit by a car (on foot) and it was actually on my birthday, almost cut in half by a snow plow in the blue mountains, thrown from a horse in the smokey mountains, I accidentally ingested the water in the Yuccatan, I have recently tagged the Eiffel Tower, and have been in a high speed boating accident. Would you like fries with that...???

I'd like to meet:

Like minded people, the record buying public, that monkey they shot into outerspace, MR. "Foam Finger Maker", Kate Beckinsale, Malia Jones, Eric Idle, and the wild Cougar that visited me twice last summer...from a distance of course.

Music:

Punk, rockabilly, garage, chick rock, guitar bands. You know, rock and roll...it's all rock and roll. Don't pretend your really slick and catagorize the shit, just shut up and play. ...and no drama, please.

Movies:

Indie films, science fiction,"Lawrence of Arabia", the original "Planet of the Apes", "Occurence At Owl Creek", "Hidalgo", "Army of Darkness", and stuff with Bruce Campbell. I also like comedies, so that's why I DON'T watch anything with Steve Guttenberg or Judge Reinhold. Don't go to your grave without seeing Paul Newman in "HUD."

Television:

I don't watch much, but if I do... The Daily Show, Hawaii Five O, Adult Swim, Wild Boyz, Mythbusters, cartoons are the best fucking thing on television.

Books:

Anything by H. P. Lovecraft, Guns Germs and Steel, ancient history info, (Anasazi, Egyptian, Roman Empire, Celtic, etc.) Scientific American, Maxum, Loaded, FHM...you know, stuff with humor and chicks in bikinis.

Heroes:

Steve Mcqueen, Frank/Dean, Don Rickles, The Three Stooges, anyone who says what they're gonna do - and then does it, (I guess that means I'm my own hero), a man by the name of Doug Warren who is a science teacher/surfer/bee keeper/beer drinker, Angus Young, Billy Zoom, Robin Zander, Mick Blood, and Kieth Moon because he dressed up like LONG JOHN SILVER to go get stamps at the post office!!
