Ok ..was Supercool the first thing you did out there?
Ya..

How did that start up..
Well before I moved to L.A. I placed an ad in a magazine called the Recycler, which is a really big magazine, personals, classifieds for bands, just about everything...one of the first people to call me was Eric Stacey from Fasterpussycat..s o we hit it off pretty good. he had hooked up with Lantz who was the guitar player/singer for Supercool..and is the guitar player singer for Smack... my new band.. so the three of us started up Supercol.. so once I got out there we started on some songs, they had written some songs.Desperate to try and find a drummer went through about 3 different drummers till we  got Vic Foxx from Enuff Znuff and Vince Neil band. that band started out with the best intentions. and the best hopes and turned into a nightmare. We did some cool shows, we did a Japanese tour last January.. a year ago. that was fun.. basically that band had allot of dysfunction. I can elaborate.. but I wont..alot of chemicals.. alot of substance abuse..

How long was that band around then technically..
About 8 months..

Any recordings?
Yes we did a..6 song ep called Live at the Wilcox  Hotel..something I'm not really proud of.. but its all right..when that band folded.. Lantz and I started Smack.. that's when things really came together..

Who did the writing in Supercool?
Umm..alot of it was ...Eric.. Lantz did allot.. I did some. but again I saw that band turning into a Roxx Gang. Eric wanted to do everything his way.ya know that Neanderthal.. my this.. my that... mentality. started to raise its ugly head again... so with the other problems in that band.. it just brought an end to it..

Then how did you start Smack?
Well me and Lantz came to the conclusion that Supercool was a dead end street.. and we had made an effort to start a real band, and get everyone involved in writing. make things a group effort. so a friend of ours Jamie we had known for a long time.. great guy, really cool.. cool looking, great bass player.. didn't have to think twice.. he was the bass player.. and actually Vic Foxx started off drumming in the band.. but decided not to.. and that's when we got Pat.. the drummer from Junkyard..this band is so good.. this is a band I've dreamed of being in my whole life.. we are all buddies, we all get along great, we have so much fun together..and when a song is written, weather I write it or Lantz writes it..its a Smack song..its not..oh that's my song.. I wrote this.. and I wrote that... its a group effort. and we have a great time. live is just a blast. playing with these guys is just a dream come true.. its what its supposed to be about..4 or 5 guys having fun. and that's what being in a band should be about.

What's in the Future?
