25-Mar-2005Recap and the future!
Let me start by wrapping up 2004, and saying what an amazing year it was! In November, one of my bands, Coronados, went on a South American tour, hitting Argentina and Uruguay. The main attraction was the annual B.A. Stomp! This garage and rock and roll festival was headlined by the amazing Defectors from Denmark!Read More…

19-May-2004March for Women’s Lives
I had planned to go to the March for Women’s Lives since the very first day I heard about it, several months ago. The March, originally called March for Choice, was in protest to the Bush Administration’s attack on women’s rights. We weren’t just there to fight for our right to have an abortion. WeRead More…

01-Jan-2004California New Year!
Finally! After writing for coolgrrrls for over half a decade, last month I got to meet the one and only Frank! I got to spend the weekend with him when the Gore Gore Girls headed out to California for a Halloween weekend supporting the Cramps in sunny Southern California. We played a pre-show Devil’s NightRead More…

10-Oct-2003Viva Las Vegas
I would say that my first Las Vegas experience was memorable, but everything is a little hazy. Not because I was drunk the whole time, but because the 48 hours whizzed by like a weird Jack (Black) Daniels-flavored Rockabilly dream. The Gore Gore Girls were scheduled to play the Las Vegas Rockaround on Saturday night,Read More…

23-Sep-2003Summer recap
I wrapped up summer ’03 by seeing the quintessential DETROIT ROCK concert: Iggy & the Stooges, Sonic Youth, and the Von Bondies. Of course, this all happened several miles outside of Detroit city limits, in Auburn Hills, MI, at a large venue with a corporate moniker which I do not feel necessary to mention. RegardlessRead More…

20-Aug-2003Long time, no see!
Well, it’s been a while, but I have much to tell. I have literally been around the world in back in just a few short months. Playing bass in the Gore Gore Girls has brought me to five countries in 2003 alone! Our first international adventure of the year happened the first weekend in AprilRead More…

17-Jan-2003An update!
Tidbits, tidbits, tidbits! Okay first of all I have to say that I am now entering my fifth (or is it sixth?) year at coolgrrrls.com! Technically speaking, the site has come a long way since then, and we’ve had so many great girls from all over the world join us. I’m still happy to beRead More…

18-Dec-2002Busy, busy, busy
Wow. Since we returned from tour Detroit has just been a whirlwind of activity. Recently I attended a benefit extravaganza for the one and only Tony DeNardo. Held at the best beer-hole on the east side, the Cadieux Cafe, the benefit was to help Tony raise the funds he needs to head out to CaliforniaRead More…

13-Nov-2002On tour
As if this year could not get any better, last month my band the Gore Gore Girls went on a three-week tour of Europe. I’ve never had so much fun in my life!! It was like living a Saturday night for three weeks straight! We started off the tour with a bang, meeting movie sirenRead More…

09-Sep-2002Detroit is awesome!
What an amazing summer it has been. Maybe even my best summer yet. I got to meet Andrew W.K. twice, I met and partied with the Flaming Lips, and just recently I met and hung out with one of my favorite bands, Fu Manchu! Those guys are awesome! Weekend after weekend, I have had experiencedRead More…

28-Jul-2002Gigs!
The Riff Randells are the cutest! They are just one of so many band I have seen recently that are either from or coming through Detroit that have totally rocked my socks off. Once again, I spent a Saturday night trying to be in eleven places at once, but on this night I was gladRead More…

10-Apr-2002Andrew W.K
Wow! I am still a ball of excitement after seeing my first Andrew W.K. concert last night. What a show, what an experience! I’m so convinced that this man is going to save rock and roll. I’m sure most of you have heard of him. You may have seen his album cover, a head shotRead More…

16-Feb-2002First Diary!
I started the month off right, meeting friends old and new up in Lansing (Michigan’s capital) for a rough and rowdy rock and roll show with Detroit band the Ruiners. Thanks to a cute little website called livejournal.com I’ve gotten to know a handful of awesome girls and boys from all over Michigan, including theRead More…
