Best or funniest gig story: I used to play in a band that had two attractive female singers. The band also had myself on guitar, my brother on bass, and a friend, named Sammy, who played the drums. We used to play around the O.C. in those days. One night we decided to all go to Hollywood and check out a friend's band that was playing at The Key Club. While we were standing outside waiting to get in, these two guys come over and say to the girls, "Hey you guys are in that band Picasso Trigger." The girls were like yeah ok, and they started talking about the music. I figured I would try and join in on the conversation since I wrote most of the tunes. Just when I tried to add my 2 cents worth, one of the guys looks at me with this stupid look on his face and says, "Who the hell are you?" Apparently, when these guys had seen us play, they had no idea there were any other members to Picasso Trigger besides the two girls.
