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.

At 4:57pm on July 21, 2008, Dawn Aveline said…: Noted. Thanks.

At 3:38pm on July 21, 2008, Stephen F. Wolf said…: Just "Garden Weasels."

At 1:36am on July 11, 2008, Dawn Aveline said…: Hey Rob,

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

Cheers,

Dawn

My Son's Band, Jumper!, Video.

I don't know how to embed the dang thing, and it doesn't really have any connection to Indiana, except that it's, well, my son. Maybe some of you will enjoy it. My wife and I paid for his band to make a video for his birthday, this is the result. I…
