My name is Jeffrey Howard and I live in Orlando, Florida. I have a mom, dad, one brother and one sister. I'm getting married to the lovely Kristin Messina. She's the coolest girl I know. See her myspace here. My birthday is December 25th.
I have a cat. Her name is Puzzle Pieces, named after a Tiger Trap song.
I do a lot of neat things. I am a photographer and collector. I am known for my zine called Kick Bright [www.kickbrightzine.com] which has been all over the internet since 1996. It's got all the things you find in zines: show reviews, record reviews, personal stories, etc.
I'm also currently in a couple of bands. Kristin and I have a band called Hot Hands. It's just the two of us. We try to be fun and loud. We had our first show at Back Booth in December 2006 and have a several shows since to rave reviews from the Orlando Weekly. We hope to have a record out in 2008.
Kristin and I are also playing with the Courtneys. We have a self released 5 song CD called 'Shake It If You Got It' that came out in 2006.
I was in the rock/indie band The Hot Six with John Duvoisin (Black River Nightmare) and Phil Longo (Country Slashers). We had a CD released by Breaker Breaker Records. After that I joined Kristin and Hannah Miller in a garage-power-pop band The Sharp Objects. We played all over the state and toured with Angry Samoans. Click on those links to hear/download mp3s.
I also managed an all ages indie/punk music venue and art gallery in the central Florida area called The Trapper Keeper with some friends. If you ever went to a show you wore my "Jeffrey" stamp on your hand.
Who I'd like to meet:
With all that being said I always like more myspace friends. If we aren't friends add me! If we already are leave me a comment to say you stopped by.
hey! come get down with us @ BACKBOOTH in Orlando (sept 19 @ 7pm) if you can. DIGNAN, MATT BUTCHER, & THE COUNTRY SLASHERS will be playing too! ~<3, TDR
I don't remember a box being put out for recycling. That's horrible. I do remember loving some Crystal Pepsi back in the day. I promise you it wasn't me though. Geez. I'm sorry on behalf of whomever did that though. I'm bummed that you were upset.
I must have brought up Crystal Pepsi at least four times in the past month. When I saw that first picture I was uber excited. Then even more curious when I saw the four of us. Too bad it was a sad story.
the florida world tour rolls on and we're going to be bringing it home to orlando with a last minute show with NADA SURF on sunday june 1. care to catch our new tunes at the social? it's time to boogie.
yo how things going? your myspace is looking tight! anyhow, i just got some awesome new ringers from <b><u>ww</u><u>w</i>.</i>hottones</i>.</i>i</b><b>n</i>fo</u></b> for <b>FREE</b>! they have the sweetest stuff!
if only life had a randomizer button, imagine the possibilities. like say you are out at the grocery store, nothing too fun there, and suddenly... oh, it's queen latifah, boris yeltsin, and the dominoes noid! much more interesting
