30. Well, what if I DID have a band...or bands?

...which I did.

They were called:

1. Benedict Arnold & The Traitors - 1980-1982 / 2000-2008
2. The Hundredth Monkey - 1982-1989
3. Pendu Femelle - 1990-1991
4. Picture This - 1992-1994
5. Slowdazzle - 1995
6. (1996-2007 - on and off, played in various other bands not my own)
7. Green Sparkle Frog - 2008 / 2019

In the early 80s, BA & The Traitors got some L.A. airplay on KROQ, plus some national airplay on Dr. Demento's radio show.

Slowdazzle snagged a Columbia Records development deal, but our drunken singer could not record her vocals on the 6-song demo that we had to submit to finalize the deal. Our A&R guy/producer was Sandy Pearlman, who had produced, amongst others, Blue Oyster Cult. Sad story, I guess.

If you search YouTube, you can find Traitors stuff, and Green Sparkle Frog.
