About Me |
|
| I've enjoyed 20 plus years of in your face rock, funked-up soul, industrial-theatrical mayhem, over the top blues-fuzed guitars, and strip joints!
I had the pleasure of releasing records and touring with some great friends and groups over the years and came close to the "Holy Grail" a few times. I spent a lot of memorable weeks and months on the road from Austin to Boston, from NYC to Hawaii and from California to France. I was overwhelmed by the scenery and the people that I met.

Music:Member Since: 1/17/2005Band Website: colinjohnband.com / gdesigns-marketing.com Band Members: Gerard Dominick - I grew up on a farm near Greensburg PA, endured 12 years of Catholic school and finished my education at Greensburg Central Catholic HS before I could creatively reduce it to brightly colored burnt embers. Then, on a night of drunken debauchery I had a choice of getting a tattoo - joining the Marines - or going to art school. So, I signed my letter of intent and went on to complete my Visual Communications degree from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Though the years at AIP went by quickly, I honed my creative skills, drinking skills, fighting skills, and prat fall skills and still managed to graduate! I was then ordered to leave the state of Pennsylvania and migrated to Akron Ohio as a creative director/photo designer for many years before starting my own design & marketing agency. MoreSkills - guitars, bass, low-vocals, cheese grater, adoration for the female figure, songwriter, composer, creative director, master of disaster, dancer, graphic designer, prat fall specialist, marketing, media specialist, consultant . . . did I mention . . . adoration for the female figure and all the parts in-between, vodka, beer, more vodka, tequila, and band security. -------- -------- Colin John Band members - www.colinjohnband.com Colin John - vocals, all guitars, 4 man raft /Gerard Dominick - Backup vocals, bass, harpoon gun /Eric Baltrinic - drums, percussion, and anchor -------- -------- DRIVE by SAINTS Gerard Dominick - vocals, guitar, bass, Kerplunk© -------- -------- STRiP Laurie Styron - vocals /Gerard Dominick - bass and back-up vocals /John Gmerich - guitars /Tony Rockich - drum and percussion -------- -------- In Fear Of Roses Ernie Smith - guitar and vocals /Gerard Dominick - bass and back-up vocals /Bob Szeles - drums and percussion /Tracy Ramer - lead guitars / -------- -------- Indian Rope Burn Clay Vause - vocals (RIP) /Mike Crooker - guitars & programming /Gerard Dominick - bass and back-up vocals /Bob Szeles - drums and percussion / -------- -------- Paranoid Lovesick Bill Stone - vocals and guitar /Gerard Dominick - bass and back-up vocals /Rick McBrien - lead guitars (RIP) /John Potwora - drums and slapstick -------- -------- Psycho Charger Jimmy Psycho - vocals, guitar /Gerard "The Dominator" Dominick - bass and guitar /The Diabolical Dr. K - bassMr. Scott - drums -------- -------- 10 Cent Lovers (Fierce Invalids) Jason Burkett - vocals and guitars /Gerard Dominick - bass and back-up vocals /Rob Janowiak - guitars and more back-up vocals /Tony Rockich - drum and percussion Influences: B-horror movies, action packed spy thrillers, British Invasion (Beatles and the Sex Pistols), bass guitars that don't break when I womp them, the female figure and soft kisses from a beautiful woman!
