About Me |
|
| Here i am, i've been called the Alan Lomax of Noise, the Jazz Guru of Goth (?), the P.T. Barnum of Punk. Played on records you haven't been buying for over 3 decades. Early member of the Los Angeles Free Music Society (remember a little thing called "Blorp Esette"?). Writer (you can cop any of my 4 epic volumes of pulp prose illiterature at www.acefarrenford.com) my blog section has a few extracts from my eternal Thursday struggle, Tattooist for the last 13 years (www.purplepanthertattoos.com), Father (the magick twins Rose Mystery & Mars Pharoah, the mighty Atticus Hugh & William Cyrus Ford), Artificial Artist (new cd in theory coming soon on Ace & Duce/Transparency). If you haven't found me before you were luckier than you knew. Presently squatting as vocalist with the Mystery Band (new cd "Wood" out now on Poo-Bah Records www.poobah.com ), i've also been known to play with EXP, Smegma, Ace & Duce, The South Pasadena Free Music Ensemble and others in my long illustrious non-career. visit http://www.acefarrenford.com to view my discography, investigate my art gallery, and try to pay no mind to the fact that current events are a few years old now, i've had difficulty updating it. Someone sent me here to this swirling sea of humanity, perhaps someone else may save me from it |
