Random tour story

In 1998 a 300+LB bald man rushed the stage, put me in a headlock, dragged me off the stage by the neck and proceeded to punch me in the face. It would've hurt but,at the time, i had HUGE Buddy Holly glasses on and my glasses would just fall off after each punch and i kept throwing em back on in time for the next punch. The our roadie, Flipy, jumped on his back and smashed a pint glass over his head. He started spinning around, with blood all over his face and in his eyes looking for the next victim. He never found him. This man was the hired security for the night.

3 influences

Who was your idol as a kid

First idol(s) were Darby Crash (Germs) and Adam Ant. I heard a rumor later in life that they both had sex with each other. weird. Darby took an infamous trip to england when the ants were big and came back to the US with full on face paint and Ant gear. That confirms it right?

Listen to:

Dillinger 4, Marked Men, and everything on Recess Records. Had to say that...YEAAAAAY!
