Check out this picture I just found. It is from a 1985 issue of People Magazine.
That is Zydia, Greg Shaw, Audrey Moorehead, someone I cannot remember right now, April "Hershey" Curtis, and Lee Joseph. The band is the Tell Tale Hearts.
There was a lot of good music in Los Angeles at that time and I was a DJ at The Action Club down by MacArthur Park. Audrey and April were my very good friends and Greg Shaw used to give me killer 60's garage music albums (on vinyl) to spin in the club. That was the coolest club ever! I let half the people in the back door for free. The building was an old porno theater and it had the best acoustics; the private parties were upstairs in the projection room. I sold dollar joints from the DJ booth. The only thing I didn't understand was why the skinheads all lined up against the back wall. I asked them once and they told me because they liked to watch me bend over to cue the records ... I guess you could see up the leather mini-skirt quite well from that wall. Once I went outside to drink a beer and broke my finger on my way back in to change the record (I had like 10 seconds). Good times!
Oh, and I got alcohol poisoning on my 21st birthday at that club. I had lined up all my favorite local bands to play, like the Crawdaddys, but I was sleeping in the backseat of a car somewhere long before they ever went on. Audrey (above) covered for my DJ'ing that night.
I'm not trying to live in my past or anything here. I did have more consistent fun back in the day, but I'm not complaining. Nope, this was a happy memory and I wanted to share it.
Now off to the dance.

We play atmospheric rock/metal I suppose! You can hear bits of Kyuss, Syd barrett era Floyd, Sabbath and some other stuff in our sound. There are some mp3s of us playing some songs live, on our website www.thegodsoffuturemythology.com.I also have some synths and drum machines which I potter about on making techno, electro and ambient pieces too. Music owns me.
