(Not So) Spooky Times in Romania
Romania, land of Dracula, vampires, werewolves and Vlad the Impaler. Also, land of “punk music?”…. Yes, well lets just say, it’s getting there. Not that long ago, Romania was a communist country where a pair of jeans could be traded for almost anything. Punk music was outlawed and just getting your hands on some rock-n-roll […]
Keeping the Dream Alive in Buenos Aires
One of the best things about visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina last month after a year’s absence was the opportunity to revisit old friends I had made from the year before. Some of these were my amigos from “Drop Dead Dreams” who I had interviewed in front of the famous Casa Rosada (Pink House) in the […]
Returning to The Scene of the Crime
You may recall that about a year ago I was visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina winding up a 3 country trip (Chile, Argentina, Uruguay) when an unscrupulous and fake taxi driver took advantage when I let down my guard. My man took off with my cameras, passport, computer and most importantly, 3 weeks worth of footage […]
Social Distortion in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Man, I can’t stay mad @ Social D! Even though they bummed me out by refusing to let me interview Mike Ness during their first ever tour to South America, I still love em. It’s unconditional love I guess and the music is good whether I ever get to interview or even meet the man, […]

I´m Back!
Just 24 hours ago I was a despondent, depressed, dripping wet gringo despairing on the streets of Buenos Aires being consoled by a kind soul, Marcelo, who witnessed the whole thing, from set up to execution. It was raining cats and dogs yesterday, impossible to get a taxi, which is how I ended up getting my stuff […]
Robbed
In a momentary fit of my own fXXing stupidity I was robbed of my passport, computer, video and photo camera today. All of it, including all the great footage and photos from this trip. Trying to look on the bright side but now I have to focus on getting an emergency passport and getting my […]
What A Fabulous, Bizarre World?!
Buenos Aires, AR – Feb. 17, 2010 I’ve been covering all types of punk music on my tour of South America from hardcore, to Oi! to ska, but I’ll admit I’ve been a little remiss offering coverage of the rockabilly and psychobilly scenes. There are varying reasons for this, but I promise to do a […]
Don’t Cry for Drop Dead Dreams
It seemed very appropriate that I was to meet the members of Buenos Aires punk band Drop Dead Dreams at the famous Plaza de Mayo, where countless demonstrations had occurred against the government over the years. When lead singer and original member Matyas arrived along with his bandmates Pablo and Kamo, we decided to conduct […]
Punks in Buenos Aires..
After 3 days of being miserably ill, I finally started to feel like a human being yesterday, though certainly not 100%. I took advantage of the day to do some research on the punk scene here in Buenos Aires and made good progress. My first night in town I had asked my waiter where I […]
