CKC began his band experience in High School. As the years went by so did the names of the bands: The Confused, P.O.E., Mysterious Eastern Love Tool, Beatnics, Hardsoul Poets, Fireball XL-5, Neglected Sheep and the Fire Sheep.
Years later CKC found himself a part of the house band for the comedy skit club "The Perch" which produced the Emmy award winning writer Jose Arroyo and the unusual Sean Keenan (talking baby). Later CK found himself on the nationally syndicated Bob and Sheri morning radio show. CK writes and performs original and parody songs as a regular guest for Bob and Sheri. (Bobandsheri.com) Meanwhile CK joined forces with the master Jamie Hoover and recorded two full length powerpop albums on Jam Records (jamrecordings.com). Finding himself in a need for a band to support his solo material, CK joined up with a line up of several musicians over the years but has settled into a groove with the current line up: Mike Scarlata (bass and vocals) from Neglected Sheep and Fire Sheep, and John McQuage (Drums) from Big Al and Fire Sheep. The mission is simple; Have fun, play songs, get paid. God Bless America.

2008 To Do List: Take some acid, fall off skateboard, break neck, lay there staring at the sky while listening to "In Rainbows" by Black Moth Super Rainbow
Merry Christmas and Glad Tidings to you. May your stocking be filled with:
Airplane bottles of Mezcal,extra blankets, Everlasting Gobstoppers, voodoo heads, bathing penguins, The Monkees "Head" on DVD, acid, a Les Paul,nekkid women playthings, the monkey's paw, and a Partridge in a goddam pear tree. Laurie Partridge that is, nekkid, wet and waiting.
We were sweating bullets after we saw your performance on Saturday night. It's tough to follow such a high energy, well rehearsed act. Mr. Vegas is rarely outdressed, but your shoes easily won the evening.
Cool, you earned your title at the show 'cause you proved you are the king of cool with your "rock in your face" song! Excellent and so much fun! Thanks for being part of a special night.
Really enjoyed the show last weekend. I took a few pics of the band. They're on my page under "pics" in your very own album. Check them out. Hope you like them. Hope to see you guys soon again. AND, I, too, wish I could be like Bigfoot...
I really DO have very cool kitties!! Maybe one of mine is Hippie (RIP) reincarnated. :P I love dogs.. but when a cat gives you love it is REALLY special. They don't fake it for ANYONE!!!
