Parker's "Music is our Occupation" Interview

Brian Dao of the awesome PRESSURE DROP SOUNDCAST did an online interview with me just recently for the "Music is is our Occupation" blog. I talk about GOGO13, The Aquabats, Yo Gabba Gabba and the future of G13. Johnny just helped me with a spell check, but Brian posted it already. Oh well! Click here to read

Hepcat - No Worries

I will, Parka!

I love the power plant at the beginning that's on PCH and Newland. That's right where we had a Cadet Summit a few years ago! :) this video makes me happy.

Why I still love Scott Klopfenstein

Way back in... 1992(?) My cousins, The Schultzes were always known for having rad parties at their house. I think their house was more like a local hang out where people just stayed if they needed to. There was always something going on there every night and it was always a great time. Often they'd have bands play in their tiny living room.

One year, Nanette (Schultz) had a big birthday party. Scott Klopfenstein (my best friend at the time) and I went and had a blast. Space Monster "M" played. It was Christian's band long before the Aquabats. He wore a florescent pink gorilla suit with a bone necklce and wrestling mask. They played in the crowded living room and they had two guys exterminator jumpsuits and boxing gloves. They were actually throwing punches to keep the crowd back. I think they did a really dark messed up version of "Sugar Sugar" but that's all I remember about their music but it was definitely one of the scariest bands I ever saw.

Fresh Curd opened, which was Parka and The Seaghost's acoustic-y thing. I think they sang a song about pirates, but I don't remember fully.

Parker had hand-screened like 20 T-shirts for the show, each one unique. I think there was even a hypercolor one. Scott, Parker and I walked around the party trying to sell them all so he'd make his money back. I think we finally got rid of them. I had one for a long time, but I don't know what happened to it.


Then a few months ago, I found these pictures on someones
blog somewhere. It was from some Reel Big Fish fans who met Scott and took pics with him. Lo and behold, the legendary tee-shirt appeared before my eyes. I knew I must post it. I was so stoked to see that Scott still had his shirt and was wearing it out on tour.

I saw him at a show at Chain Reaction last year and we spent the whole time catching up. It was like old times all over again. I love that guy. Scott, if you're reading this, give me a call! If you're still living in NY, we need to hang out!!

Rancid last night

I wrote this whole insightful review on last night's Rancid show at the Henry Fonda theatre in Hollywood and I accidentally quit out of safari so I lost it. Anyhow, I don't want to type it again, so to recap.

- I went with the Bat Commander to Rancid.
- Our friend Craig bought us delicious su$hi. Thanks Craig.
- Met Lars (again) and Matt. Nice guys.
- Saw the (legendary) Adolescents play.
- Chatted with Tony Hawk (Christian's old pal) and his new wife.
- Rancid rocked with their new video screen (Thank to the Aquabats)
- Rancid played acoustic on the encore.
- Rancid played Operation Ivy's, "Knowledge".
- I like that I could've sung along to every song because I knew them all...Even if some lyrics are indecipherable. Like, I knew when Tim was going to sing "blooka mooka blingy bungy buh"
- Got an "Out Comes the Wolves" picture disk autographed by the whole band. Plus some more free schwag for my wife.
-Yaaay for Rancid!
- Thanks Christian

The Aquabats - 1999 Self Defense Techniques (1 of 2)

Self defense is important. You never know when someone might call you an idiot, offer you some nuggets or ask you for a dollar.
I'm sorry, but this Bat Commander dude is an improvisational genius.
Thanks Pigbat and Bugjuice...wherever you are.

Ebay find: Magic Chicken Hits!

I remember making this years ago! Autographed by the Aquabats, The Professor and the Pigbat, this was the Magic Chicken's celebrity playlist CD mix. This cover was supposed to look like a record that you'd find in a 1960's bargain bin. We made 20 and sold them only once at a show in San Diego. It was a silly idea, but we (I mean,"the Magic Chicken") sold them all quickly. Now someone else is trying to cash in on it today. You go, ebay person!

M.C. Bat Commmander Visits Paul Frank Industries

So the M.C.B.C visited PFI on Friday. He was asked to sign his name on the wall in the PF band practice room.The said wall has autographs from Bad Religion to Avril Lavigne to Kelly Osbourne to legenday artist/filmmaker Thomas Campbell. I was amazed at how his doodle shamed everthing else on that wall. Behind the Commander, on either side of the beam were drawings of guardian wizards Falcor and Mulchcap. Seriously Awesome.
