About Me |

ClickHERE for upcoming shows! In the beginningI had known Emil since the days of downtown skateboarding and from the crazy hardcoreshows at the Cameo Theatre during the late 80s. When those venues shut down, so didmany of the bands that played there: Circle Jerks, Gangreen, Bad Brains, Government Issue, straightedge, skinheads, and the wholecrossover thing. That entire scene was gone when we entered the 90s. For us, however, itwas the beginning of a new era.There were no more twenty dollar punk shows. In a way it was a blessing, because if we wanted todo anything, it was up to us. When we did our first demo back in 92, the rocknroll scene inSouth Florida was beginning to take on a real cool vibe. I had started to play guitar when Imet Johnny. That same year, I met Chuck Loose, with his raggedy old drum set. I handed Emila one-string bass that I had, and shortly after, Johnny joined us for what was to be theCrumbs. We rehearsed anywhere we could find an electrical outlet. Even at a stripmall atmidnight, before the dumbfounded security guard chased us out. Once Chuck set upGarageland, the Crumbs started practicing there and later became like, the house band there,playing every weekend to a packed house of kids who didnt have anywhere else to drink andhellraise. Those were our first shows, and along with other locals (Against all Authority,Beltones), we had now the coolest and raunchiest of rocknroll scenes away from the sleazy promoters andtrendy venues. Then it was time to leave home.Setting up national tours was a head splitting adventure. We must have played every littleshithole in the U.S. Some hard luck on the road set us back but we met some worthy peoplealong the way. And in no time we had our first record Alien Girl released in 1993 with Recess of L.A. And Shortly after a few more with Far Out, Lookout, Recess, TKO, and Insubordination. It is morethan sixteen years later now (2008) and the release of 'Dade County Trash' with Insubordination in 2008 made me realize how fast timegoes by. Not to forget memorable tours with FYP, the Queers, Swingin Utters, Donnas, and our very patient roadies Dan Destructo and Armando.The line up hasnt been this strong in years. With the crafty Tono on bass now, Grim withthe relentless beat, and Johnnys buzz-saw guitar, weve been able to keep active and remaindoing what we like to do most: drinking...no! seriously, getting on stage and letting loose.-Raf Classic- |
