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.

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."
I'm all for MFT and the artists both making some money whether it's NP or not. I'm glad there is another way of getting us out there.
If I would have sold an album in the 80s, I remember most little labels and artists would be happy to sell their t…
PJ- I thought of that too! I could use a new Ping hat.
We aren't too far down the road of the NP thing to turn back. But John is right, if we can find a way to funnel money to artists then I'm all about having MFT make some of that transaction. It…
