ok, this is mighty embarassing.

this would have been around 2000, I'm holding a squier p-bass purchased by my mom, not plugged in, terrible bass face and jumping as high as I can for a picture, which might have even been shot on film!

I still have the squier, but it got defretted and I'm currently refinishing the body. (and looking for a replacement PG)

Out of all our stupid costumes, these take the cake. The gig was at a small film theater so we decided to do a musical out of our songs. It was rather hard to make anything sane with the material we had so the result was quite... different. 30 minutes of mostly improvised stuff that someone might mistake for acting. The crowd loved it!

Less than a month old, but fairly stupid. We just can't help ourselves! We are gravitas-deficient.


How can you be serious when your shirt says "Vlad The Impaler School Of Anger Management"?

Mardi Gras Birthday Party

This was a paying gig for a couple that really went all out for the woman's 40th....we were told we had to wear hats and masks (which didn't last long) Pretty fun gig except for looking stupid. Open bar, though!

This makes me weep tears of tender joy every time I look at it.

BEST. HAIR. EVER.

also, this was my first band from high school:

/\ I'm on the left

/\ because the only way to look metal is on children's play equipment from gradeschool.

I got Kevin (kobass) beat on the hair, I think.
This is 1977.

I can't find a decent pic. My hair wasn't the only thing that was fuzzy in 1977.

For some reason, that picture makes me think of Toto. Ummm.... the band, not the dog.
