THE HUUUUUUNCH !


GUYS !!!

The Rev is bringing you....HISTORY!!!!!

Ok, this is a repost, but here's the thing. Mad Mike's nephew (Hey Ralph!) sent me this ultra-bloody-rare pic of the band. You know me, this is one of my favorite track in the whole universe, I just couldn't resist of posting it again ! (Btw, in the world of blogs, a year is a century :)
For the record, Ralph (you know, Mad Mike's nephew-do you listen or what) got into music because of his uncle (but that goes without saying), they own a audio/video production studio in New York !
Anyway, THANKS A MILLION Ralph, THANKS A MILLION Mad Mike, and now, get naked and dance crazy baby !!!

THEE BLOODY END !!!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. Yes my dear friends/readers, I've decided to end this very blog ! No particular reason to be frank, I've just decided to put this site to bed. So alas, another (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary, you choose) blog goes away. Well, you all know I'm a (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary/bad, you choose) musician and that it takes a LOT of my time, that maybe explains the sporadic nature of posting here, so here we go... its' a FAREWELL ! Well, don't be sad my friends, remember what the great Criswell said: ' We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.' ! So, I can't really express myself on HOW MUCH this lil' internet page was important to me, and how much it was fun to make/search/create ! You can't imagine how crazy it was to make those halloween/western/
