   About Actual Birds
PLEASE NOTE THAT I VERY RARELY CHECK MY MYSPACE. IF YOU REALLY NEED TO CONTACT ME: ACTUALBIRDS AT GMAIL DOT COM. Anyway...


ACTUAL BIRDS is the nom de guerre of Dustin Krcatovich, cartoonist/DJ/recording artist/Michiganian/record collector/bad comedian/amateur sociologist. Not necessarily in that order.

Actual Birds is currently a member of the following music groups: FOREVER STOKED, ACTUAL BIRDS & THE HIGH SPIRITS, MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW (A.K.A. "The Patrick Elkins Band") and BOXCARS.

Does anyone need a dude to write about music for them (for money)? I can do that.

Please visit THE CASANOVA TEMPTATIONS WEBSITE. For information, comics, music, and more.

Check out my internet radio show about SIDEWAYS AMERICANA, "Stranger Things Have Happened"! It "airs" Sundays at 7 pm on VIVA RADIO, and there are always two months of archives at your fingertips!

You can order my album that I did with Fred Thomas (Saturday Looks Good To Me, City Center, etc.), Vive La Fantastique! Avec Actual Birds & Friends, on ITUNES here. Modern! Sellout-ish, too, but whatever, give me some money.

(For a long bio, go here)
