PSYCHO BEAT NUMBER NINE

About Me

whew! I haven't updated this in about 3 years! I play in NYC's asylum rockers, THE ARKHAMS for the past year and a half, and we collaborate on the most wicked songs you'll ever hear! the debut full length album, "Road to Arkham" is out now! order it from www.myspace.com/thearkhams or come to a show and buy it along with hearing some of our new songs which beat the old one's asses! I am also involved in plenty other side projects from time to time (the Black Market Band, and occasionally sit in with Mike Mok and the Em-Tones amongst other bands! I don't really have six personalities, i just told people about that for a joke i played on society for a few years! i only have 4! hahahahahaha!!! well, no, not really! Aaron Gelbman is still really dead, so still never refer to him, for you wouldn't want someone to refer to you as your dead cat's name!here is the band that I play in, The Arkhams (check us out at www.myspace.com/thearkhams) at The Basement, taken October 13, 2007 - Matt the Knife on upright bass, Seanzi on drums and myself on the Lennon-ized Korean 2002 Epiphone Casino with Duncan Antiquities, a bigsby B3 and 12 gage flatwound strings

My Interests

playing in the Arkhams, writing songs with the Arkhams, going to see live music, listening to music in my car, or at home, practicing my guitar playing, bothering people on the phone, going on spontaneous road trips (not really anymore, because the price of gas is more than i make in a week's pay!), looking at bizzare websites, reading new age philosophy, such as nostradamus, or astrology books, taking hours to cook minute rice

I'd like to meet:

people into good rock n roll music, fans of the Arkhams, new students of music that are interested in learning the old school technique such as reading and playing to a metronome. people whom know Kaisers tunes are not just direct rip offs of early Beatles tunes, someone who knows all the words to 'out of this world' by Gino Washington, someone whom agrees with me that the Beatles were the most Satanic band of all time and loves them for it! if you don't fit in with these qualifications, just add the Arkhams at www.myspace.com/thearkhams for we can possibly satisfy all your rock n roll needs!
