The craptastic original drummer for many a short-lived Indianapolis & Muncie band, I was the music director at WAJC's Night Music and producer of the TV concert series Dog Shark Lagoon.
Now... I'm old. I enjoy telling the kids to get off my yard and turn down their music. Why, in my day we had REAL bands! Bands like Modern Vending and the Zero Boys and JOT and Bitch Head. Freaks of Nature! Now there was a band! Kids today...
What bands are you or have you been in?
Pizzle, Lunkheads, Fabulous Andersons, Kung Fu Zombies, Bachman Turner Overdrive
No worries; last name is not Martin and it has been MANY years.
I'm surprised a lot of this is coming back to mind for me, considering I haven't been back since I graduated ('93 on the 5-year plan), and haven't been/don't keep in touch with anybody from back in the day. I was actually directed to the site by Tom Shover (Steve Kowalski's Army) who I am in contact with/have played with here in Chicago.
In any case, yeah, FHM was after KFZ. Up until that time, I hung around Matt/FON a decent amount (became their roadie in a sense, because I had a van). Because of that, I became friends with Chris Barton, Phil, all the girls at the House of Raging Women (Laura, Shelby, etc. I eventually moved in there one summer with my then girlfriend Kriss Luckett), etc.
OK, look, I finally visited your MySpace page, and thank GAWD there's finally someone on MFT besides me who loves SeaLab 2021. Or has heard of it. Grizzlebee's, yo.
Good to see you here. So what is a Kendle 7" going for these days?
I was digging through my VHS tapes the other day and pulled out a copy of the Dog Shark Cafe with Vending on it. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Kind of scared cause I know there is some interview segment. I think it may have Bitchhead on it too.
You and I -- and maybe Phil -- are about the only people in the universe who want to see those flyers; but I bow to The Will of Murph. I'll try to scan them in tonite.
Boobies? I don't doubt it. I was working on my proto-feminist street cred. As in "None of us/really knows how to fight/except Celeste."
Some good friends of mine forwarded me this info. I have helped a little with this event and would love to see some MFT bands playing the show. Contact Julie for more info julie@workonyacht.com

You know who you are, come out and be counted!
Did you spend countless nights at Second Story?
Did you eat at Rockits?
Can you barely remember the 1990s?
Hey Ian get in touch with me while you are in town, it would be great to talk to you even if it's just on the phone.
I sent you a message with my fone number!
hey all!
looks like i might be darkening the door of Indianapolis this weekend. anything i need see/do? i haven't been the state for almost 6 years.. all i have planned is to hit the MCL and QLs in Muncie..
Warped Tour was a blast! NOFX, Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, Flogging Molly, and The Ataris all put on good shows. Hadn't slam danced in years before this; I don't remember it being that tiring.
really, we just got back yesterday from the U.P. camping for 11 days......we won't be leaving home for a few weeks! So.....I start school on August 10th, we have Labor Day off, then I have October 21, 22, 23 off of school, makes a wonderful 5 day ...

mart=first part of last name
If that's not enough to ring a bell, somewhere around late '89, along with Matt Hart, we absconded with Phil Barcio and formed Fire Hydrant, Man.
How's the baby situation out your way?
