Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Piano, Upright bass.ABOUT
I've been playing in bands since 1979. Started out fronting the post-punk band Zanti Misfitz who got signed toJettisoundz, Clay Records and RCA Germany. Then The Turnpike Cruisers with who I sang and played harmonica and wrote the songs. We had two albums, two singles and video album, numerous compilation releases and our own TV show on MTV. Also sang, played and wrote songs with Thee Phantom Creeps, Razor Dog and The Blind Kings. I love punk, rockabilly, rock n roll, blues, jazz, latin music, bluebeat, trash, surf anything that rocks the bones. I've done literally hundreds if not thousands of gigs.
