blackplastik's Profile

About me:Performed my first show in a dark seedy punk rock club at the age of 14. During High School studied marketing and began promoting local bands Maniac Spider Trash (Wednesday 13 of the Muderdolls), Faculty X, Seducer, Child of Rage/FE26, Gideon Smith and others. Wrote articles for Metal Edge, Metal Maniacs, Guitar World and fanzines. After graduation toured with Stuck Mojo as Rich Ward's guitar tech on "Snappin' Necks" Tour. '97 formed the Peds and toured non-stop with the highlight performing main-stage at '98 Milwaukee Metalfest. (had the pleasure of eating a sloppy joe dinner with dark metal lord KING DIAMOND!!!). Throughout the years I did uncredited session work and filled in for several national artists. Smack dab in the middle of the 9/11 crisis moved to Portland Oregon and worked for a dirty producer. During this time again wrote and recorded several tracks for Television and Movies that I was never paid or credited for. Feeling bitter, depressed and broke had to sell all of my guitar equipment including my treasured 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom I got from my former employer and mentor Rich Ward (Stuck Mojo, Fozzy, Adrenaline Mob). My down time turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Shortly after quitting met the love of my life Jennifer and had two wonderful children Damien and Gage (both named after horror movies). With the loving support of my wife I'm back after a 10 year hiatus performing this time on bass with Deathtrap America (Alternative Rock), The Quintessentials (Horror Pop-Punk) and the World's Greatest Poison Tribute Band Poison'us
