About Me |
|
| ACTUAL BIRDS is the nom de guerre of Dustin Krcatovich, cartoonist/DJ/recording artist/Michiganian/record collector/bad comedian/amateur sociologist. Not necessarily in that order. Actual Birds is currently a member of the following music groups: FOREVER STOKED , ACTUAL BIRDS & THE HIGH SPIRITS, MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW (A.K.A. "The Patrick Elkins Band") and BOXCARS. Does anyone need a dude to write about music for them (for money)? I can do that. Please visit THE CASANOVA TEMPTATIONS WEBSITE . For information, comics, music, and more. Check out my internet radio show about SIDEWAYS AMERICANA, "Stranger Things Have Happened"! It "airs" Sundays at 7 pm on VIVA RADIO , and there are always two months of archives at your fingertips! You can order my album that I did with Fred Thomas (Saturday Looks Good To Me, City Center, etc.), Vive La Fantastique! Avec Actual Birds & Friends, on ITUNES here . Modern! Sellout-ish, too, but whatever, give me some money. (For a long bio, go here ) I edited my profile with science |
