pure coke on a cracked mirror






Went to see Dean's band The Black Tibetans open for X. I have been a huge fan of X since I saw them live at the King King in the early 80's. I was about ten years old. My pops made the music video for the song "New World" and I got to sit in the editing room with John, Exene, DJ, and Billy while they hashed out the final cut. The last time I saw them live was about ten years ago, and last nights show reminded me how pure they are. It's hard to describe, but they are everything that's good about music, and almost 30 years later they still sound amazing. No bullshit, no fronts, no posing.

Mr Badwrench-Up Jumped the Devil


I dont really get into talking about my band days, but I sang in a band called Mr Badwrench for almost 8 years solid. Those were some pretty crazy days, and I have some great memories from the shows, and my band mates have become lifelong friends. In '99 we released "Up Jumped the Devil" and had international distribution, and sold out the first pressing. For one reason or another the CD never got re-pressed. I started tattooing full time, Chopper joined the Cramps, and we just kinda stopped playing. A year or two ago we were supposed to re-release the CD through a small label and played three reunion shows to support the CD. There were some issues that never got resolved with the label and again the CD never got re-released. Chopper finally took it upon himself with his label Ratchetblade to make it happen and now you can get your hands on our long lost CD again. I've seen copies of the first pressing selling on Amazon for $75...insane, anyways, they're only $11, go buy one and support the cause. And to all of our long lost friends and fans, thanks for the support over the years.
