A lot of you know me through MySpace, and have been wondering where to hear my music. Well, here you go! I have had two major bands in my lifetime, The Hormones and Napalm Stars. On this page, I will periodically spotlight tracks apiece from those bands, with maybe the occasional preview from a solo work I have in progress, and will also keep you updated as I assemble my next band, The Cherry Darlings.
I recommend checking out the blog on this page for Cherry Darlings progress reports and liner notes for the tracks posted here. this blog is the liner notes for the current tracks, and this one documents the four tracks I started this page with and had posted for several months.
Here's a clip of the live version of "Sell Out Young" from The Hormones you can hear on this page, taped at Stubb's BBQ about ten years ago:
Here's the video for Napalm Stars' "Rich Kid Radio," directed by Scotty B. Napalm:
Oh yeah, and here I am singing the Dead Boys' "What Love Is" with their guitarist, Cheetah Chrome, in Las Vegas, 2006....
Oh, yeah! I almost forgot - here's a word from our sponsor:
come to the parteeee! Scorpio Rising CD release with special guest! Saturday, June 28, 2008 Trophy’s 2008 S Congress Ave Austin, Texas Vinyl Dharma 12:30 Scorpio Rising 11:30 Shandon Sahm 10:30
I've been toying with the idea of moving to Austin. Message me w/ an address I can send a tape. ( sorry ol skol I mean CD MP3 YOUTUBE)You get my meaning.
I'm gonna have to say "Castaway"... I remember Deborah playing the 7" for me and I was genuinely impressed with the tuneage and spirit contained therein... Catchy as all hell, and the Real Kids cover was no slouch either.. I remember her going "you have a Johnny Thunders tattoo (I got it the day after he died), you're going to love these guys!!" You even had a drummer that looked like the esteemed Mr. Nolan!!! The Hormones were really special, and I remember you guys ever so fondly...
You know, you'll probably hate this, since it's a song you wrote so long ago, but I'm still especially fond of "Sell Out Young," partly because I still have my beloved Hormones 45 and partly because the chorus has been stuck in my head since it first came out. Plus I love to sing along to "Look what we've beCOOOOOOME!"
