I have a confession...when I was a teenager I was an idealistic, snobbish musician. I found three other like-minded individuals and we started a band. The music we created can be characterized as art-fag gothic prog-rock. A lot of time changes, improvisation, forboding undertones, all the stuff that produces a likeable dance beat that the ladies love. I think it's apt to label the type of music we played as "snob rock". The band's highlights included gigs at the Whiskey A-GoGo, Ventura Theater, Madame Wong's West, Nicholby's, UCSB, and a now-defunct record store on Main St. called "12 Inch Fun".
Jeff (the mulletized gentleman in glasses) worked at Montgomery Ward and was able to use his rock star influence in the photography department to get us a free band picture...woo hoo! So we strolled down to Montgomery Wards and had a family picture taken.
For me the 80's checklist was as follows:
Torn Levis(not pictured)...check
Obligatory Rush T-shirt...check
Mandatory flannel shirt on top of Rush T-shirt...check
My "I'm a rockin' drummer" sneer...check
Full head of hair...check
so the final product is...
...the happiest people ever!
