Schmackie

History

Biography: I've been a huge music geek for nearly 30 years and I'm currently on my third stint as a DJ. When I lived in Phoenix briefly in the mid 90s, I booked dozens of bands at various places, including the legendary Tempe dive Cannery Row, which was the last bastion of hipster culture near Mill Ave. in Tempe before it was completely sold out to corporate interests. I still like to put shows on, typically just for special occasions. I put on some shows in the last few years at Club Congress called the Comedy Fiasco.
I've also published a bunch of articles about music in various low budget publications in Phoenix, Tucson, and SoCal.
Favorite music: Beatles, David Bowie, The Move, Weezer, The Kinks, Apples in Stereo, Love, Of Montreal, Tom Waits, Blondie, Nirvana, Ween, L7, Elliott Smith, Elton John (up until the last 25 years), Joan Jett, The Essex Green, Fiona Apple, Ben Folds, The Zombies, Bob Dylan, Fountains of Wayne, Green Day, Arcade Fire, Dub Narcotic Sound System, Blur, Stone Temple Pilots, Flaming Lips, Of Montreal, Tones on Tail, XTC, Dukes of Stratosphere, Franz Ferdinand plus many, many more. Local faves: Sugar High, Calexico, Solace Bros., Last Call Brawlers, Luca, The Provocative Whites, Molehill, Mostly Bears, The Holy Rolling Empire, The Swim, Alejandro Canelos, Luminarios, Golden Boots, Spacefish, Al Perry, The Lemon Drop Gang, Feel Good Revolution
Guilty Pleasure: Beach Boys, Bay City Rollers, Billy Joel, The Monkees, and (sadly) lots more
