| Hi guys this is Jimmy and I'm like
with the Banned where I break guitar strings and yell.
After being classically trained at a conservatory in Vienna, where I discovered
my perfect pitch and learned 17 instruments, including the oboe, I decided
that what I really need to do to bring my music to the masses was to hook
up with the rest of the boys and start playing cover songs with a punk
rock feel and scream my head off while doing it. I really love
playing with these guys and I think that translates when we're up on
stage. I know this sounds cheesy but if you're looking to have an
atypical time out at a local gin mill then come down to one of our shows,
have a few drinky drinks and get stupid with us. Straighten Up and
I'll see ya at the show. Later later..

I started making music at the age of 5 developing a new piano technique
called "Jumping on the Keyboard". Later, I became more
interested in percussion, when I grew heavier and developed "Breaking
the Piano". I took some lessons, then quit. After years
of studying violin and viola I got into Kiss and Bass Guitar. That stuck
(but I still play the other things without frets). Done punk.
Done Floyd Covers. Done original hard rock. Like this stuff we
do here with Banned....kick ASS covers, and some AWESOME originals with a
group of tremendously energetic, and slightly drunk musicians. Come
to the shows! Enjoy!

SWD (single white drummer) ISO a
good time. I have allot of fun hobbies but, being in a band that is
actually doing o.k. has been one of the best experiences ever.
Especially with these guys. We always have a good time;
Jamming, goofing around, getting all ^%^** ed up at a gig's
!!! I have been playing drums and annoying neighbors since I was yay
big. It only got worse when I got older, Drums, motorcycles and fast, loud
cars were added to my repertoire to further anger anal neighbors.
But they grew to love me. I only started playing drums in a band
(other than the school band, in grade school) three years ago. It
all started with STUFF and meeting Jimmy on job training and jamming to
the Gambler by Kenny Rogers (punk style of course). We have grown
and re-grouped as a band since and became the group BANNED.
Rock On !!!!!
