IN THE MEANTIME, HERE"S A TASTE OF MOTHRA!!!!!!! CHECK IT OUT!!
High? I'm Sassy Fuchs...( otherwise known as Terrianne O'Rourke, for those who grew up with me, work with me, or hate me, because I may bring out something they hate about themselves...) I've been an entertainer my whole life...I can't think of a moment when I didn't want to be in showbiz...Doing SOMETHING, but mostly MUSIC has been what drives me...I've been known to go into a severe funk without being creative with music........ I was born and raised in Royal Oak Michigan. I've been in MANY different bands throughout the years, being a lead singer, and creator of strange noises. The first band O'Jam started when I was 13, with Jon Bouda, (guitar,) Keith Collins, (bass, may he R.I.P) and Woody Saunders (Drums. He later played on Brendan Benson's album, "One Mississippi," but later In life I found out about Peanut 23. Very cool band, they have a space here, check em' out!) We played covers way back then, and I had a blast doing it with the coolest guys on Earth.... The second band happened when I was 15, and 16, we practiced in downtown Detroit, and recorded some, but I have no idea where any of it is. Around that same time, is when I first had a taste of "Improv." I was 16, spending time in a blues bar downtown, that would let me drink. They'd blues jam "all night long," and I'd go up on stage with them and sing what came to the top of my head. Later I'd do the same thing, with all the musical friends I could find. (Improvisational jams happen naturally in "The Metro" area ..) The third band happened when I was 19 called "Sound Corporation". We were our own sound. I truly think we would have stayed together, if not for the death of our bass player. (May he rest in peace.) We recorded a demo in Dave Feeny's basement, and a single vinyl was later created on John Davies, (the guitar player's,) record, (now porn,) label. ( Check out "Superbitch")..After that I tried out for various bands, and had projects going on and off, but none of them lasted, or became anything, until I moved to Hollywood in 1995, and formed a band with some more high school buddies, ( Dan Borden, Andre Comeau, Dan Holeman, and Mike Riley,) who lived there. It was called "HEAVY LIQUID" (We have a page on myspace if you want to hear what it was.) I still miss the magic of that band, but, it got hard to keep drummers, and bass players, and ahhh!!!..Same song. Gotta keep moving..I moved to Eugene Oregon in 2000, ( with whom was my fiance at the time,) Steve "Froth" Frothingham of Bigelf fame. He helped record some of my songs, recorded Heavy Liquid's demo, and also filled in on drums for that band,( which I am forever grateful for. ) Now I live in Eugene it's a very creative community!!!! I found my wonderful husband Mickey Fuchs here! My main band now is ALPHA DAHLIA (formerly,The CoStars...) I write most of the songs, play guitar, do lead, and backing vocals, play keyboards, and make space noises on my Theremin. ( Which most musicians won't tolerate. ) Check us out by clicking on my top friends list, also check out my former band. "SIRENS OF MOTHRA" ( all girl band who's members are from various bands in town here, Dead Americans, Ginger Hustlers, Telepathic Dumpster, and of coarse The CoStars.) Currently..."MY DIRTY LITTLE SECRET" ( band members are a secret,) "FIERCE MARY" ( Kilani, and I, It's Fierce! We play covers, but OUR way!..).....and last, but never least, HOT DRAMA! With Lelulaserlight, (Launch Pad,) and Gina, (former member of The Ginger Hustlers, and Sirens of Mothra.) Lovely ladies! Mickey, and I make it a four piece....I LOVE IT!!! It's awesome! I will, and do, play music with anyone who wants to, (given I have the time, and as long as no one rips off my gear. Ha! Ha! Ha!....) BE LOVE!!!!!!!!FUCK POWER STRUGGLES!!! BE KIND TO EACH OTHER!!! AND REMEMBER, IF YOU EAT A SHIT SANDWICH ect.........
