Bio
I've been playing bass and guitar since 1969... formed the 1970's NJ/NY prog cover band Dethslaker which later changed its name to Dreamer. I left Dreamer in 1979 and formed the original new wave band The Jetsonz, which later became the more goth Expresso Tango in which I was the main song writer, along with singer/lyricist Debbie Cola. The Jetsonz/Expresso Tango had a loyal following, and was the opening act for such 80's bands as: Billy Idol, The Violent Fems, Wall of Voodoo, The Waitresses, The Bongos, Our Daughter's Wedding, Ebn Ozn, Alien Sex Fiend, and Peter Tork (the Monkees)... .. After that I played guitar in the alt/pop/metal band Fetish. In the 90's I was in the band Blue. .. I'm also a guitar maker and a graphic/web designer.

Bio:

I've been playing bass and guitar since 1969... formed the 1970's NJ/NY cover band "Dreamer" (which is still around... yikes!).

Formed the 1980's original new wave band "The Jetsonz" which later became the more goth "Expresso Tango" in which I was the main song writer, along with singer/lyricist Debbie Cola. The Jetsonz/Expresso Tango had a loyal following, and was the opening act for such 80's bands as: Billy Idol, The Violent Fems, Wall of Voodoo, The Waitresses, The Bongos, Our Daughter's Wedding, Ebn Ozn, Alien Sex Fiend, and Peter Tork (the Monkees)...

After that I played guitar in a strange alt/pop/metal band Fetish. In the 90's I was in the band Blue.

I'm also available for gigs/sessions/etc. (bass/guitar/vocals)

I'm also a guitar maker and a graphic/web designer.
