There are far too many to list in the space that i have. Favorites of mine include Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Jaco Pastorius, Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, generally anyone that pushes the limits of music.

Own musical background:
I was about 5 or 6 when my mother started to teach me piano. When it came time to pick an instrument in 5th grade, I wanted to be a drummer seeing as how my brother was one and he was a large part of why i started playing. When I was in my first band, Illicit, I was asked if i would play bass. This time, my sister taught me a couple of things and then I was on my own. To this day, music must pass through my ears or out of my hands and feet or I WILL DIE!

Where am I from? The details of my life are quite inconsequential.....Very well, where do I begin.?My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangurie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize; he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament... My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon...Luge lessons... In the spring, we'd make meat helmets... When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really. At the age of 12, I received my first scibe At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles — there really is nothing like a shorn scrotum — it's breathtaking... I suggest you try it.

Musical Influences:
The Ramones, The Vandals, Guttermouth, Elvis Costello, NOFX, Mojo Nixon, Bad Religion, Joe Jackson, Devo, Ween, the Replacements, the Clash, Wayne Newton, The Monkees, Neil Hamburger....."The Natureboy" Ric Flair. Whooooo!

Own musical background:
Playin bass for the Brisbanes and NUTHATCH-47.

Day job:
I am independently wealthy thanks to my great great grandfather General Tso....as in the chinese chicken dish. Every time anyone orders Generals Tso's Chicken....I get a nickle! By the way, its even better if you order it with extra MSG.

Hobbies or other special interests:

Ideal pair of pants:
Amish leopard skin Speedos.
