Dormant Prayer
( As per Alex’s post on the Loft)the very first music video I ever did for a song called “Dormant Prayer”. My friend Jethro and I wrote the song and recorded the video ourselves over 10 years ago! Our duo group was called “Maybe Solitude”. This thing is soooo funny!!! I’m about 12 years old in it, but totally acting it up like I would now. I’m so glad Jethro dug this video up for us all; it’s really an important piece of my history. Now remember, I was only 12, and this song and video is about being an inmate on death row, on the way to being executed!

Full Moon Productions
(Alex’s father’s production company…As per Alex post on the loft 5/31/05 Hey guys and girls! I just wanted to let everybody know what my crazy movie-making Dad is up to these days! I’m very proud of him and I will actually be writing a song with him for his upcoming movie “DOLL GRAVEYARD”! We’re also developing an awesome TV show together! For those of you who don’t know him,Charles Band has made over 250 films in the last 30 years and is known as “The King Of The B Movies”. You might have heard of some of his most popular titles from the past or even rented them at your local video store. Well, he is back making the same crazy, unique horror movies like the Puppetmaster Series, Re-animator, Subspecies and Trancers. The first feature coming out in June on the new Wizard label is “DECADENT EVIL”. After that for Halloween will be “DOLL GRAVEYARD” and then a classic film starring Gary Busey running around as a killer cookie called “GINGERDEAD MAN”! My Dad’s devoted fans around the world are right up there with mine and you can get a good look at what they’re all fawning over at fullmoondirect.com. Enough great movies to keep you busy for years, toys that even adults would like to have creeping around on their desks and even an amazing 6 disk DVD set that teaches you all the tricks of the trade to create your own B movie empire! So, if you have a chance, go check out the website and sign up for his mailing list so he can let you know all the insanity that is to come.
