A Musical Tribute to the 80s. This is a truly professional working
group with the highest-caliber musicianship I've ever been around. We
cover everything from Billy Idol to Talking Heads with a surprisingly soulful
edge and the requisite dose of camp. Famous for our genre-defying medleys,
we keep the asses shakin' and the bar tab open. Co-stars: Dirk Manley,
Rocko Starr, Roxy Britannica. Official
Site features a photo gallery, multimedia downloads, press kit, and
user forum. |

Spawned
from a short-lived group called Pipe, this reunited the Mr. Salty trinity,
adding a second guitar and bluesy vocals. Four-chord modern rock with southern
tendencies, spanning Pearl Jam to Collective Soul to The Black Crowes. Best
known for "Here I Go," an original tune that eventually got regional
airplay. Furley was largely the house band at a Maryville, MO club called.
. . Molly's. Other players: Jon Kluiter, Pat Redd, Darin
Casey, Austin Howell. Darin and Austin split time with Des Moines favorite
The McKenzies, who recorded two great albums and for whom I also created
a music/live promo video. |

Hey,
it's a better name than The Extreme Skid Halen Floyd Peppers, which pretty
much summed up our influences at the time. This came together from a series
of internet BBS postings (yes, the 'net existed back then) from the drummer,
mutual friends, and some natural-selection jamming. The final gasp of pre-grunge
metal, we covered GNR, Poison, Crue, etc. for beer money, eventually recording
a CD of original guilty pleasures called "Life, Love, and Mediocrity."
Partners in crime: Tony
Konecne, Jon Kluiter, Darin
Casey. Previous players included Nathan Carter and a guy named Chad. |

We
were gonna change the world, one self-indulgent guitar solo at a time. Maybe
even graduate from high school. For some reason DVS (get it?) comes up in
conversation every now and then. We never even played a real gig, it was
just a garage band covering glam, dinosaur, and hair rock like Cheap Trick,
Aerosmith, and Faster Pussycat. Witness Protection co-conspirators: Chris
Thorman, Mike Holien, and Jason Tolbert. Note: not our real logo. |
