Bio
Apart from doing his 'thang' for twenty-five years right about now, this man has been the singer and guitar player of Scientists/Birthday Party-reminiscient THE IRON COBRA ORCHESTRA (2002-2005) and the semi-legendary garage punkers MOTORCYCLO SADISTO (1995-2003) and the country-delirious THE TWO GUN MOJO. He also lends his fuzz’n’ twang to germany's psychobilly & death country legends THE RAYMEN, his fellow MARK STEINER (Oslo/ New York), experiments with electronic artist TEAMFOREST and even appears as bass player in doom rockers AZUL BLACK MESSIAH and (SONS OF) ANANUS. He sang with the INDOOR SURFERS on their legendary Joy Division tributes, also has been with VAMPYRE STATE BUILDING and ZOMBIE HOTEL, and a massive number of rightfully forgotten projects. Recent works include the fertile collaborations with his lost french brother DIMI DERO of the infamous DIMI DERO INC. and manic Lo' SPIDER (JERRY SPIDER GANG), as well as in their most recent transatlantic incarnation featuring BRIAN HOOPER (Beasts of Bourbon/Kim Salmon & The Sureealists) on bass. He also produces for LYNX LYNX, LT. DAVE & THE VOHWINKELS, THE FUZZTONES, MARK STEINER, PHINEAS GAGE & THE CROWBAR INCIDENT and THE RAYMEN.

Favorite Movies
Point Blank, The Wild Bunch, Midnight Cowboy, Lost Highway...that sorta noir-esque psychedelia stuff. you know the score.
