A shared love for California
Social and governmental neglect
The importance of community
Friendship
Being walking time capsules
The spirit of punk rock
Their newly released discography on Solid Brass Records
and playing shows in 2024 after
Nearly 25 years of hibernation.

He’s also the founder of the seminal record label, Gold Standard Laboratories, having released albums by The Locust, Melt Banana, The Rapture, Arab on Radar, Mohinder, and The Mars Volta, just to name a few.
