Ive played in many bands, did some touring, recorded a few albums. I was the drummer for the NJ Debut of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, ive played shows for SilverTree Productions based out of Oaklahoma where we did "INDUSTRIAL MOVEMENT" (trash drums), which led to future trash shows at Great Adventure "RECYCLE THIS!". Ive marched, taught, lived and loved drums since day one. Im ready to roll, and rock a bit too.

Ike & Tong Tong
Ike & Tong Tong Track number: 1 Year: 2004 Album: Live From the Rings of Saturn Genre: Other
This project titled "The Marriage of Mermaid and Centaur" (formerly...The Blvd Maritime) dug into the post rock sound..more of an ambient sound with influences from Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky and more. We played the New Brunswick Indie scene for a bit, it was fun. This version is cut down in time so it can fit.
