About Me

Back in early months of 2006, me and Kreepy Kris were working at a local porn store together watching the perves troll around in the back looking for a free "hand out" (or "hand job" in their case). We mainly sat around selling the odd butt plug here and there while listening to music. Every night I'd bring in a new selection from my collection and I'd reminisce about how much fun it was to see the "old" bands back in the day...................Well, our warped little brains started turning and soon enough, Kris came in one night with a little practice amp and we started to write some songs together. We got half way into writing the second song when we knew that we were onto something. Luck would have it an old friend and guitar player, Alejandro, soon joined the working ranks at the porn store and our direction became even more obvious.......................Thomas wasn't a hard find. He was Kriss' roommate and they'd even briefly played in bands together. So now we were shaping up. We started practicing in Tom's living room and we were knocking out a few songs, but we were missing a big piece to our punk rock puzzle. We had two guitars, a bass and a singer, now all that we needed to do was find a non-flaky, committed drummer. Shit. We were screwed!...............................After days of working the 'ol noodle (the brainy one, not the limp wet one), we rounded up Matt, an old friend who happened to be an expert drummist and KA-BLAM! Bullies!!! ...........................We switched things up a little and Tom our bass player decided that work as a fluffer in the porn biz was more appealing, so he split. Since then we picked up Patrick and he's working out just fine.......................Our sound isn't completely definable, but a couple of times i was told that our music reminded them of drinking beer in the alley with friends, getting chased by nazi-cops and hopefully getting laid at the end of the night.
