< SOULSTICE
Hollywood, CA
[1990]

A 2-day event held at the Barnsdall Art Park Gallery Theater in Hollywood, California on June 21, 1990 - the Summer Solstice.

This event included three live bands; mine, Little Indians and Manimal as well as inspirational prose written and delivered by GenX author Mike Goodenow Weber.

The gallery featured multimedia and fine art exhibits by six Los Angeles-based artists, performance art and dance on the main stage.


< INVOGUE
Hamburg, Germany
[1984]

Within 24 hours of arriving in Hamburg from Denmark, I auditioned for this Duran-Duran-esque band in 1984. Thank goodness, because at the time— flat broke—I was seriously considering either joining the US Army in Landstuhl, or finding a Sufi monastery and becoming a Gurdjeiffian Monk in Romania. And at 19 years-old, they both seemed feasible. And then a CBS demo project in Paris for Ravenhead.

< JAKE'S WOMEN

/\ THE MESSIAH of MALIBU
Los Angeles, CA [1992]

This film by Jim Bernet didn't get past casting and investor SWAG like this poster and shirts. It would have starred Elizabeth Lauren, me, and a cameo by Ritchie Havens. Oh well, free shirt.

/\ THE DIPLOMATS New Mexico [1981-1983]

My first garage band, The Diplomats actually did quite well for a local band prior to YouBloom or MySpace. These are shots from perhaps our biggest gig, The Jemez Springs Music Festival in front of a crowd of a couple thousand bikers and our own Diplomatic Attaches.
