Hi, my name is RoMak!
I'm the voice of pre-modern, post-vintage electropop band
RoMak & the Space Pirates
I like, do that..with my life..a lot.
I think singing is my favorite thing to do. But other stuff is chill too..I guess. I love working on different projects...Yeah, stuff is chill..or wait, maybe it isn't? I'm still working in life's major questions.
I also play drums in Satan-a-tr0n!
www.myspace.com/satan-a-tr0n
I dislike tomatoes..and olives. I also dislike opression, sexism, homophobia, racism, ageism, a suburban police force of arrogant bigots..you know, stuff like that.
I'm obsessed with bad television, or really anything bad in general. It's almost more fun in today's day/age to consume something stupid and pointless and see what you can extract from it. I like to explore the depths of shallowness.
That isn't to say that legitimate art doesn't have it's place in society. It's probably sitting in your friend requests box, but you don't bother to look at those profiles because you don't know them personally and see no benefit in leaving your social bubble..and you'd rather hang out with the same people forever until you eventually marry one of them..then the only art you'll have room for will be love songs and made-for-tv-movies.
Wow. I'm sure glad counter-culture isn't dead.
Anyway...I'm also obsessed with pop-culture (in general) and the relationships between art, economy, cultural ideals of different time periods, public adoration, public rejection and urban legends.
I also like to express myself through the way I look and sometimes experiment with my appearance. I do things very deliberately and like to look fancy but also enjoy looking disgusting and parading around barefoot in ugly, oversized clothing.
I like dolls, puppets, cartoons, effigies and anything that resembles a humanoid but isn't. In fact, I like anything with faces, and everything has a face! Hmm...but I don't like everything. In fact, most people accuse me of hating everything.
I believe in ghosts, aliens, sea monsters, magic, dinosaurs and pretty much everything like that.
I'm a pretty self absorbed person, but I'm not as bad as Oprah. If I had my own magazine called 'R Magazine,' I still wouldn't be on the cover of EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ISSUE! What the hell?! I would just be on most of them.
I choose to let the number 3 and the color orange completely dictate all major decisions in my life for some reason.
I'm also a writer in a very loose sense of the word, just as I am also a musician in a very loose sense of the word.
I try to be good about responding to comments, messages, etc.. But sometimes I can't be. Don't take offense if I don't respond to you, or if it takes me a long time!! It doesn't mean you aren't important or something like that.
If you want to keep tabs on what is going on with me, subscribe to my blog.
Some people think I'm really nice. Other people think I'm a jerk. Some people are idiots.
Buy Space Pirate music here!!
Who I'd like to meet:
Estelle, Kanye West, Joaquin Phoenix, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Stephen King, Boy George, Michael C Hall, Emily Haines, Kathleen Hanna, Marilyn Manson, Gwen Stefani, Tina Root, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, Amy Winehouseghosts, new friends, people I admire, people who can help me grow as an artist and a person, people with claws who aren't afraid of using them when they need to.
This is a short compilation of some clips from me in the upcoming film NUMB. This is my first time doing a movie and I'm really excited to see it when it's finished!!! NUMB is a subculturally focused coming-of-age story set in the early 1980s. I play a gay youth named Stevie Kirkland who dreams of escaping suburban life but finds himself trapped in a cloud of narcotics, corrosive relationships, family issues and nightclubs. NUMB is a Love Machine Films production.
