So even with wrting things down so I wouldn't forget, I forgot a few musical projects that I was involved in...Thanks to Fid and Jay McGill for the reminders...

SHEMP- drums- Spring 1992 (i think?) Highschool friend Jay McGill on bass and Nick Forte from RORSCHACH on guitar. We wnated to play country-thrash like the first Meat Puppets single. Practiced a few times then splintered. Great name thought.

ROCK, STAR- drums- I engineered the first Rock,Star demo cd in 1997. This was Zach Kaplan from Worthless' REAL band. Total Jawbreaker pop tunes with Sue Werner from Stormshadow on 2nd guitar. They broke up and reformed 2 years later and did another 'record' that never came out. The BEST thing ever to come out of the New Brunswick and PRACTICALLY NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THEM, They lost their drummer and I filled in for a bunch of shows in summer 2000. Great somgs and fun band, too bad they never did anything else.

SPARKS FLY FROM A KISS- drums- Irecorded some demos for Ralph/AVISO back in fall of 1999, and it turned in to Sparks Fly. They had drummer issues in the beginning and I played a buncha shows with them until they found Crocco. Fun to party with; first practice I was handed what I thought was a glass of iced tea that turned out to be Jack Daniels STRAIGHT. Don't rememebr the shows except I know one was NYC, perhaps the Continental? Fun times.

WITHOUT YOU- I knew Fid since moving to town and this was going to be me finally getting to play with him for real. He played guitar along with Nate Gluck from ENSIGN and it was total fast Dag Nasty or Samiam pop. My schedule caused them to get another drummer eventually, but we did record a few tunes to remember them better.

And I also forgot that Fid played bass in Doc Hopper while John was studying in Japan back in the fall of 99 or so. Maybe 2000, I'd have to check. He also was our fearless roadie for the Lunachicks/Buzzcockstour and he was a blast to have around. And to think he didn't drink then either.

That really should conclude Chris Pierce's musical career-to-date. Let's see if I can fit in another 30 bands in the next 18 years...
