About Me

I am a greenhouse manager at Purdue and currently not invited into any bands for reasons of facial hair, melancholy, and poor taste in music. Listen to a broad range of music not worth digressing into here. As for rock, I am father to 3 pre-teens, so am into the FIRST albums of Drake Bell, Hillary Duff and Avril Lavigne. The first High School Musical soundtrack as well. The Jonas Brothers suck, but you have to admit that the kid from the Naked Brothers Band really has a set of pipes.

What bands are you or have you been in?

U.S. Steel
Freddie & the Fruitloops
The Sound/East of Eden
West of Lafayette
Uncle Bob & the Fear
Without Annette

What city are you from?

West Lafayette

Plus, the Spyrographs were a forgettable band. We were Robert Smith (guitar), Adrianne Ambrose (drums) and me on bass. Basically we just goofing around and riding on Girls Can Touch's coat tails for a year.

At 11:01pm on August 23, 2008, Rob Eddy said…: Steve: yes I thought about adding it, but couldn't remember if it was U.S. Steel or Nemesis I played with. Thanks. That was the band (Joe Steiner III, Matt Wukasch, Jamie Short) that I played with the night Leslie Sharp introduced me to Danny Thomas which led to Freddie & the Fruitloops. It was the Side Door gig at Federated Church. You were there with Stain Class and Robert with Lunatic Fringe, although may be compressing history. I recall being impressed you guys could play Rush and who could forget Lunatic Fringe in their hazmat suits.

Do they use weed-whackers in "academic" horticulture?

Cheers,

Dawn

This is Mars Needs Women's, first band name. We got our flyers torn down Kirkwood by some Jaycee guy I remember, wearing his little red vest.

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…
