aka: Mrs. Billy Spunke Skamp
Instrument: Bari Sax
Email: trukgrrl@excite.com or IU's own MC Hammer/LL Cool J hybrid llhammer@indiana.edu
Other Projects: Bedford's favorite swing era savants, The Nostalgia Band. We play shows at the Lion's Club and such, usually for drunk old people (especially at Knights of Columbus gigs). The average age in the band is 55, and I am the only girl - so I get all the perveted jokes to myself. I have to wear gray "slacks" (?!), a blue blazer, white shirt. and a red scarf. I look like a stewardess - although a stunningly hip one. I also write folkie acoustic giutar songs. They are all about either ironic insanity, hating ex-lovers, political drug songs, or they tell a story with a moral. Oh yeah, there;s the token hippie war song, too. Don't tell the other Skamps about this, mmkay? I am also working on a science project; it's about fission in a bottle.
Hobbies/Interests: Hanging out with Count Roscoe (he's been listening to lots of swing lately) the dog. He's the best, and he loves me very much and he very rarely farts! And I don't have to take him out on a leash. He's really tall and skinny. I have another dog named Cyrus; you can read about him at the bottom. I also like checking out guys and never talking to them. I also enjoy whining about not having a boyfriend to all of my friends. They love me, yes indeedy. I like playing with puppies, too. Puppies, music (a close tie), drugs (although I had to give them up) and pink frosted sugar cookies are the best things in the world, in that order. And I like going to shows and hitting on the band at a party afterwards (not reeeaaaally, I'm way too nice - and shy, for that. They love me, yes indeedy). I also enjoy scooping poop at the animal shelter to avoid prison. Sound confusing? Yeah, I'm confused too.
Bands/Artists Admired: Blue Meanies, Voodoo Glowskulls, Tool, Pantera, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (don't ask), Ani Difranco (again, don't ask and don't tell the others), "Dr." John Walsh and the Sinkholes (local heroes - yarns have been spun of their adventures!), just about any ska-punk-core derivitive especially if signed to Asian Man, Flogging Molly, (old) Johnny Socko, Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld
Got Something to say?: DISCLAIMER - I am not really Mrs. Billy Spunke. Actually, someone else already is (and they have a kid; a spunkelet, if you will). I'm not even in love with Mr. Spunke (who doesn't exist off the stage; it's a stage moniker). I haven't even talked to him (his splendor is too great). I play it safe and hobnob with the drummer instead. He's really nice, and bald and wear's cute glasses and he's a big pimp rock star, I know 'cuz I was at this party once and he was there and these girls were all...oh wait, sorry. The nickname, right. One day Her Royal Heinous and some other girls were all talking about their boyfriends. I was link (you know, trying to blend) "I have an imaginary boyfriend, his name is Sam." "What's he look like?" asked Michelle. "Well, he looks just like Billy Spunke only with blond hair/black roots, weezer-y glasses and he's a l ittle taller (Mr. Spunke is kind of wee, I would be a mammoth (although not as wooly and red) with someone like that)." So, Her Royal Heinous missed the part about Sam and started calling me "Mrs. Billy Spunke Skamp". I'm cool with it, though. And Sam is too; he thinks it's rather amusing.
FREE: One Norwegian Elkhound neutered dog. His name is Cyrus and he is very happy and loves people! He weighs about 50 lbs and he's house broken, but he very much prefers to live outdoors. Qualified parent cannot own another dog (unless they were kept seperate, cats OK) and cannot have small children (like under 8). Call me at 812-279-2695. This isn't a joke - this dog really needs a home.
Things Lisa Doesn't Like: Local and other underground bands who are shitty to or make fun of other such bands when they should be respecting and supporting them. Even if you don't like a band's music, we're all working for a common cause and colleagues deserve respect (especially is they are extremely-mean-when-provoked-jail-hardened-felon colleagues).
