Russ sings, plays guitar, and writes for Arrows, a Brooklyn rock and roll band. He plays the bass and sings backup in Doug Gillard's (of Guided By Voices) band. He is also a recovering gear junkie and is constantly on the verge of falling back off that wagon.
He collaborates with his friends Lee Keeler (Dolby Fuckers, Flotation Walls), Zack Szymousiak (Fighting Weight, Sandwitch and lots more), Josh Carriero (Vatic Fuzz, Miley Cyrus), Justin Lynn (his living room), and his friends formerly of the band Buffalino.
He enjoys good lines, loud guitars, cigarettes, John Steinbeck, Ohio, and strange women. There probably isn't much more to tell.
I think you are one of my HOTTEST FRIENDS, so I nominated you for my Hot Friends list. Do me a favor and accept my nomination so I can buy more of these Hotties! Click here to accept the nomination to my Hot List!
Russ, this just keeps getting better. Also, what I get for not even bothering to check & see who's in a band when they request my "friendship" is not accepting requests from bands like yours. My apologies. Not that I ever check this piece of crap called Myspace, but when I do next, I'll click that lil' "yes" tab next to any Arrows request sent my way. Be well.
