I was born March 8, 1950 in Niagara Falls, New York; the same city where my parents had their honeymoon (though which came first has never been revealed to me).
At age 3 my parents forced me to move with them to Long Beach, California, where I had a normal dysfunctional childhood until joining my first band in 1965 called Little David & The Disciples (a 6-man group with 4-members named David). We later changed our name to The Difference and were a cover band that backed up The Drifters and The Coasters from time to time and opened occasionally for Ike & Tina Turner.
In 1968, tired of the L.A. music scene and a couple of outstanding warrants, I hitchhiked to New York City and got to play The Village Gate, The Bitter End, & Max’s Kansas City (plus another 100-joints that no one remembers). During the mid-seventies I moved back to the west coast and settled in Venice Beach where I formed an infamous punk band called Bloodclot together with Josh Manley (a former lead guitarist for The Stranglers).
In the early 80’s I moved to Gothenburg, Sweden, where I rented a small run down kiosk in Linnéstaden (one of the nicer parts of town) and had an ongoing performance art project there for the next 6-years, of which the most popular were: 42nd Street (the world’s smallest music theatre), Off The Wall (The worlds smallest art gallery), Peanuts (an unconventional psychiatric clinic), and Intergalactic Investigations (a detective agency with no clients). During this time, asides from gigging occasionally, my friends and I also produced dozens of shows and a free newspaper called d.o.a. News. Since then I’ve produced a few shows (the most popular being the Freak Show; late 90’s), written 6-crime novels (which I’ve grown tired of trying to sell), recorded a few records, played a few hundred gigs;, not to mention being married then divorced & helping raise a wild child. The past 5-years I’ve been spending the winters in Morocco, mostly hangin’ with my Gnawa buddies in Essaouira, doing an occasional gig, writing songs, and various other extracurricular activities.
All in all, life is good; or as my father used to say, “I can’t complain…no one listens anyway so what’s the point!”

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Hej Jeff! Tack för vänskapen! Sist vi möttes var du och Wayne hemma i Laines och min flickvän Marias lägenhet i Haga. Måste varit 97 - 98! Vi käkade god middag och hade en otroligt rolig kväll. Minns när ni berättade minnen från U.S.A. Gott att du finns och berikar oss med din starka musik. Första gången vi sågs var i en liten kiosk på Linnegatan där du drev en psykiatrisk mottagning genom serveringsluckan. Man betalade per minut så du satte på ett tidtagarur när luckan öppnades=) Drivethru speed mottagn. hette "Peanuts", jag fick ett litet kort med snobben på som kvitto. Givetvis tog jag en behandling. Hade bara råd med fem minuter, och blev samtidigt överfallen av en tjej i ett gatuteaterprojekt som testade folks empati. Hon låtsasgrät och kollade vem som brydde sej. Tror jag var typ 17 år då. Hon gav mej sin adress så vi skulle ses efteråt, men jag bangade, har alltid ångrat det=( Iallafall levde (R.I.P) HagaTexas ännu. Ljus och energi... Kram från Mattis=))

Back in business again, after six months of lethargy and gear trouble. New track up, a pretty heavily reworked Håkan Hellström song, strangely enough. Plesase fell free to check it out.

Have asked for your records in Norway and the are only on the net. Maybe you should talk with Platekompaniet? They seemed interested and are the best record store on the Norwegian marked. Me and some friends are hlding a Cohen tribute soon. This is our flyer:
