About me: It's all about the rock!
I've been putting out punk-metal-undergound-rock zines in the Black Hole of Rock-n-Roll (Austin, Tex-Ass) since 2002. Check out
http://www.rankaustinzine.com/new/
for archives from "Rank and Revue: the Red River Review" and "Reloaded Monthly".
As well, I'm an independent booking agent for Black 13...which simply means that I can get you a gig in Austin at a variety of venues, and don't work for the man.Contact info is black13booking@hotmail.com
If you rock, and need a gig in Austin...find me. If you don't rock, I don't want to hear from you.
After all, rockin' is my business, and business is good.
As long as I'm not wasting precious time responding to indie-emo-screamo-pop-commercial-radio-friendly-bullshit...
you get the drift.
and if you don't...
uh..........
Who I'd like to meet: Lifers and rockers.
Especially Ace (no last name required), Alice Cooper (only the early seventies Coop...not the golf-club-wielding-non-rocking-white-suit-wearing-Coop of the present), Jimmy (muthafuckin') Page...in all his founding-father-rock-star-glory, Ozzy, David Lee Roth, Tom Oriah, Keith Richards, Ian Astbury, Steven Tyler, Iggy, Ray Price...
Post-humous rockers: Stiv Bators, Sid Vicious, Keith Moon, John Bonham, John Lennon, Brian Jones, Randy Rhoades, Hank Williams Sr., Hasil Adkins...
and on and on and on and on and on.
Also, Sean Penn, Willem Dafoe, Gary Oldman, My main man "Bob" DeNiro, Martin Scorcese, Jim Jarmusch, David Lynch, Johnny Depp, Crispin Glover, Billy Bob Thornton, Vince Gallo, Dennis Hopper, Harvey Keitel...
and a dead Bela Lugosi.
Not to be forgotten...and, for the most part, deceased:
William S. Burroughs, Charles Bukowski, Ken Kesey, Jim Thompson, Phillip K. Dick, J. G. Ballard, Edgar Allen Poe, Dante, Milton, Marquis de Sade, Jim Garrison, Lee Harvey Oswald, Link Wray (met before death...which requires a seperate section all-together....hence no Nikki Sixx, Marilyn Manson, Willie Nelson, Lux Interior, Mike Watt, Russell Crowe...)
etc., etc., etc...
Note: no bitches
I just want to touch base, and keep you posted on some cool HOOTROCK happenings!
First, the JOHNNY HOOTROCK debut release, "6.66 Gallons fer Twenty Bucks" is now available on CD Baby and iTunes! Help spread the word! Everyone's got a greaser friend or two, git 'em a HOOTROCK CD fer Christmas! Yeah, baby!
Doom will never die, DOOMRAISER too! As one door closes, another opens. Valerio has decided to leave the band; he wants to concentrate more on his other projects. We all wish Valerio the best of luck with his new vocation. He was, and remains, a formidable guitarist and was an integral part of DOOMRAISER.
However, it is with great pleasure that DOOMRAISER announce that Valerio’s replacement is to be none other than our good friend and brother, the fearsomely talented musician Willer. He played bass with evil blacksters Grimness and he’s involved in Black Land, an awesome and obscure heavy psychedelic band from Rome. Practices have been going very well, and Willer is already adding a new, acid and exciting dimension to the band as a whole. His first gig will be at Sinister Noise Club in Rome on the 21th November: a special and drunken night celebrating the birthday of one of the most important Italian underground rock scene club!
US Tour w/ Between The Buried And Me, Cynic & Devin Townsend! Jan 13th @ White Rabbit in San Antonio in case you are up for the drive from Austin! Pre-sale tickets are also now on sale, if you plan on coming I highly suggest getting them now! Available at ticketmaster. Links on our page!
this is j0hnny, my last band was THE MEDIC DROID r.i.p. & i'm doing a new band called ROBOTS it's (rave/rock/alternative) with DJ S3RL, known for the "Pretty Rave Girl" song.
