First, I want to thank Puckett Electric for putting this show in motion. He has a show called Soup In The Dark (from 7pm to 8pm) on Sundays. He did a little show celebrating my pseudo obscure work with BSteele, and it compelled us (my former bandmates to talk)

What is that formative relationship? The relationship that defined relationships, and set the standard for all other relationships in your life? Sometimes we have bad ones, contaminating all relations going forward. Sometimes a relationship is so rich in love, and excitement—all others cannot be matched.

In the case of creative relationships, notably, a relationship where you’re creating something as a group, receiving love and accolades from a community—the chemistry is sacred, magical, with emotional stakes out of this world. Sadly, cruelly, these relationships often happen in our youth, when our tools to navigate these precious relationships aren’t developed.

Let’s talk with my two former bandmates, not just because it needs to happen, but because upon getting this show—I was often asked if I was ever going interview these two.

I Want You Know— Dana Suchow, and Justin Blaire Vial, from the band Barbarasteele

A lot of talk lately has been devoted to the feature film I’ve been working on. As you know, it has turned my life upside down, and you folks have been my only friends. But what you may have forgotten is that I’ve also been helping a friend with a documentary. It serves as proof of life, of a life lived, and of a time that no longer exists.

It was a time before social media, when a social endeavor meant seeing a friend’s band at Bottom of the Hill, Café du Nord, or even Kimo’s. Or, in the case of The Nervous Breakdowns, out in the streets: under a streetlight, in drag, a generator growling, guitars and screaming, proclaiming their very existence.

Here’s an update. I want you to know Keala Ramos and his film The Nervous Breakdowns Were HERE.
