Hello !!!
I've Been an active musician since around 1980 playing in many different live and recording bands ,wow hard to remember them all but I'll give it a try, here goes...
I started out playing music in Las vegas at age 17 when the Punk scene was popular. playing Bass in a band called the Addicts and TMOA (Twisted Morals Of America) which featured Mike Connely on guitar and vocals R.I.P. who also fronted the great punk band MIA. we played backyard parties and anything we could get away with ,we played with other popular local bands like self abuse subterfuge and a whole slew of others, then moved into the New Wave scene and played with adult pleasure then moving on to learn Guitar and started playing with friends in our first Rock and metal bands extreme pleasure,slutt,and Sneak attack then onto the scene of the the big hair bands forming a band called Roz Parade with Mark slaughter kenadall trotter and Al Rumley (which wnet on to Form Slaughter). we played concert venues and were actually billed as slaughter opening for stryper in the 80's the band broke up and then I moved to Los Angeles and finally settled into my more passionate blues based influences,I have played live consistantly since the beginning logging hundreds of live shows (definatley thousands by now...lol).
After moving to LA I worked for Imortant Record distributors (Relativety records) and later called RED inc. after meeting a great friend Cliff Cultreri,we worked with artists such as Satriani ,Vai,Les Miserabe ,Alan Holdsworth the list goes on and on...
I played in a couple original bands called Shivertown which was a late 80's style commercial rock band on the sunset strip Gazzaris,The Roxy, Cocunut teaser club Langerie, etc, and a band called GASH fronted by dear friend Johnny Sombratto (GASH ) who also sang as a guest on Steve Vai's sex and Religion album R.I.P. we use to rehearse at Don Dokkens studios in the south Bay and had the pleasures of playing in front of acts like Lita Ford and Nazereth at the Strand in Redondo Beach.
I currently play out in 2 cover bands thank-u-drive thru who have recently been featured as guests of the mark and Brian show on KLOS 95.5 in los angeles , and another high energy band called Soccer Mom playing around the south Bay and orange county areas.
I have done some studio work with Dino Maddelone and brother Chris Maddelone engineer at Dino M studios in Torrance California with various artits from Hip Hop Urban to Country and Rock of course.
I write music and have played on various projects including the warner brothers movie release Ecks and Sever commercial trailer starring antonio banderes and Lucy Liu.
I would like to Pay respect to a couple of dear Freinds who Passed who were a Big Part of my music and Life in general, God Bless Johhny Sombratto (Gash) and Nick Douglas and Mike connely...Many great memories Thanks for the Time wish you were here...
