Various Band Shots

The following are various band shots that feature, of course, me. Click on the picture for a larger view. For more info on the bands go to the
Band Tree Page.

	This was from my stint in the Puckerbrush Cat. We had a habit of playing parades. Mitch Maddox, the guitarist, had a truck and trailer and a generator and we would get a friend to drive and we would all set up the flatbed. This was the Mollyockett Day Parade in the late 1999 or 2000, I can't remember. I do remember that we had to play and drive through a torrential downpour.	Photo by Brandi Maddox
	More of the same.	Photo by Brandi Maddox
	Here's a shot of the Baked Potatoes, or Mr. Soul, or whatever we were at the time. For this occasion, we may have been Lee Atwater's Rhythm and Blues All-Stars/Outlaws. We had set up in the Old Port Festival in 1990 or '91 and we were promptly kicked out. Andy (the guitarist with the red hair and bad haircut) insisted on making a loud racket about all of this and almost got us arrested. Anyway, we took ourselves to the outskirts of OPF on Commercial Street and played there. Dig my hat. The black box is a battery powered amplifier that I tied to my waist and it distorted all the time.	I have no idea who took this shot it may have been Seth's stepmom Ronnie.
	This one was from our photo shots for the Mr. Soul promo package, which was a silly exercise, one that you could call a 'learning experience'. Notice the manly pose the skinny guy with the sunglasses is taking since he had no hat or goatee. This poster was advertising the barn party we were having at Andy's house, which was a tense time but in the end a lot of fun.	Photo by Red Sullivan (Andy's very supportive Dad.)
	Andy waits not-so-patiently as I scream my head off. As usual. This was from the prior-year's barn party (I think). We had done a gig at Fantasy Hall watching another high-school-ish band Low Tolerance play. They were heavily influenced by Pink Floyd but jumped around the stage like they were the Ramones. Andy and I unwisely tried to incorporate those antics into our stage show at this party.	Andy's Dad again (or maybe Jeremy's).
	My friend Mitch Maddox would call this 'big feelings'. I would call it 'being into it.' Or better yet, this is how stupid you look when you consume too many beers. It's all because I forgot my hat and failed to grow my goatee, but the Megadeth t-shirt is cool.	See above.
	This is one of the first shots of me playing bass from the 1986 Senior Talent Show at Cape Elizabeth High School. The one on the left is Steve Harmon who attempted to sing and the one in the middle is Chris Cummings who dropped out of high school later on in February. We are performing Submission by the Sex Pistols here.	Again, I have no idea who took this (or why). I think it may have been Kelly Buckley.
	The infamous Dana Wylde from Total Perspective Vortex / The Phantom Strangers. This bad shot is taken from a newspaper (hence the crumpled up effect) and is a shot of him lip-synching at a contest in the local student pub in the fall of 1987. I think a song we did was Hotel California. We lost, of course.	Some student who worked for the Spectrum, the campus newspaper.
	Same show as above but with the guitarists of the band. Left is Ellery Bane, right is Chris Kolleger.	See above.
	Not to be outdone in the bad fashion choice department, here's me from the same show. Notice my fondness for bad hats, and the first appearance of my ubiquitous goatee (done here in Maynard Crebbs-style).	See above.
	Here's one of the first promo shots for the Love Cactus when we were just a trio. Left with the funny hat is Dave Karl Roberts, center is Brian 'Fuzz' Houran and I am the skinny one on the right feeling depressed because I had no hat and no goatee.	Dave may have taken these himself with a timer on the camera or his girlfriend at the time may have taken them. Something like that anyway.
	More of the same.	See above.
	One from the vaults of the Penetrators. This was our practice space, the UMaine Farmington South Dining Hall where we practiced religiously on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 p.m. til midnight. Left is Dave Richardson, I'm next (metalhead 'do but no hat or goatee), Mark Rohman is next to me, Frotus Caper Chad Walls mans the drums.	Dave's girlfriend Laurie Pryor took these or Mark's then girlfriend (now wife) Merrilee took this.
	More of the same.	See above.
	Here's one of Chad Walls doing his famous drum trick during our performance at the 1991 UMF Talent Show.	Photo from the UMF newspaper.
	Last one for the Penetrators. That Iron Maiden t-shirt was way too small by that point but it was a cool tie-dye. This shirt is where "Tie-Dyed Eddie, Somewhere in Time, well he grins and bears it all," from my song Jeff the Killer Weasel comes from. The bass is a Rickenbacker 4001 from 1975 or so that I beat the snot out of. What a sound.	See two photos above.
	The Bumstock House Band, 1995! Left to right: Ed Canty on guitar, me on bass with bandana w/silly tassel, goatee, and suitcoat (back where I belong!), Seth Warner on drums w/silly hat, Adam White w/cool pants, Scott Lane and Dr. Don on horns, and Mike Kayhill on keyboards.	Photos by Lisa Starr who stood in crappy weather to watch us look like fools. That's friendship.
	More Bumstock. Next to Ed is Ben Meiklejon waiting patiently to play Helter Skelter on his oboe. He is now a high ranking member of the Green Party. Singing is Jeremy Potter, who ripped off his pants to try and upstage the bass player from another band who stripped nude and was arrested for it.	Once again, Lisa Starr.
	Adam White singing his heart out. On the right under the lights on stage is a woman with sunglasses. This is Tracy who kicked off the set with James Brown's 'I Feel Good.'	Photo by Lisa Starr.
	Dave and I jammin' away at the park in Lewsiton for an LA Arts gig. Ed had broken a fiddle string and we were doing our best to kill time until Ed was ready. This photo was in the Lewiston Sun Journal in July or August of 2006.	Photo scanned from the Lewiston Sun Journal.
