"barbarasteele is a band based in the bay area (San Francisco/Oakland). A band that plays a unique brand of progressive art punk soul. The band name was inspired by the actress Barbara Steele. She is most famous for appearing in some of the most inventive & groundbreaking giallo/horror/b movies of her time (60's). Ms. Steele is also well known for a striking supporting role in Fellini's high art masterpiece "8 1/2". "barbarasteele" the band hopes to emulate the juxtaposition of daring sophistication & smut that the great actress of the same name exuded beautifully.

My condolences...I know that saying anymore will not stop the sorrow, however I hope that you all will continue to make beautiful music, because I would imagine that is what Mike would want you to do.
I'm So very sorry for everyone's loss...but we all should remember the same way mike was able to bring the attitude, sass, and hip slickness to life he takes with him to the hereafter. And where ever he may be, or whatever it's called, he's rocking with the best of them. <3
