MY MUSICAL LIFE: A CHRONOLOGY
Third Grade: For some reason my neighbor got me a BON JOVI tape for my birthday. This is when I start my hatred for BON JOVI. Seven years until i start smoking weed.
Fourth Grade: The same neighbor turned me on to GREEN DAY. "Dookie" was the very first cd I ever bought.
Sixth Grade: I moved to Las Vegas to meet Travis who turned me on to PENNYWISE, BLINK-182, and MXPX. My view on music is forever changed, "fight till you die!".
Eighth Grade: I go to my first concert at the Brookedale lodge with HERE KITTY KITTY, AUDIOCRUSH, JETLAG, and LONELY KINGS. The Santa Cruz scene owns my nuts from here on out. One more year until I start smoking weed.
Ninth Grade: First day of school I smoked my first bowl. For some reason I can not stop listening to PRIMUS, BECK, and CKY.
Tenth Grade: My girlfriend introduces me to THURSDAY and BOY SETS FIRE. MTV2 becomes my new god. A group of terroritsts fly a plane into the World Trade Center, destroying the buildings. Fucking Niggers.
Eleventh Grade: I get introduced to hardcore through the local band THE SKY IS A WALL. I attend my first Jim Dandy show (EVERGREEN TERRACE) and first Pound show (THROWDOWN). Hardcore takes over my life. A wave of Patriotic fever sweeps the nation. Like in Nazi Germany, sixty-five years before, country music tops the charts. Then the inevitable happens: Larry the Cable Guy becomes popular. I attend my first SLAYER show.
Twelfth Grade: 'Nick Bane' is born. Johnny introduces me to a bunch of rad kid in the SC hardcore scene. I no longer go to shows by myself (yay). I stop smoking weed. Jim Dandys closes. Im pissed so i go to a STRIKE OUT show and knock out a security guard. I learn to become 'posi'. I saw BEASTIE BOYS, RADIOHEAD, and IRON MAIDEN, Im STOKED!
First Year at Cabrillo College: xTDCx begins and ends with in one year. It was good times rolling out to shows together. I realize that RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE is the greatest band of all time. I can not stop going to Pound shows.
Second Year at Cabrillo College: Joel, Derreck, and I start putting on shows in SC. I cant stop listening to noisecore and underground hip hop. I start smoking weed again two weeks ago.
