Re: Remember The Untouchables?
Born too late to actually see the Untouchables, but I did enjoy seeing you guys chase around Emilio Estevez in the movie Repo Man.

Hey All;
Thanks for the props from OCMOD & Jason214...A little about Repo Man;
Alex Cox directed (check out his "Syd & Nancy"((Sex Pistols))...The world premiere of RepoMan was at the Director's Guild Theatre in Hollywood...We all attended in our Sunday finest...saw the film and said beneath my breathe (LLLLOOOOOOSSSEEERRRR!!!!)...stuck around to see my name flash along in the credits...I was sure this movie was on a quick train to oblivion...It opened in several local theatres...bad press...closed...But then, a very influencial film critic with the New York Times (Vincent Camby) saw the film and loved it...go figure......a second release...suddenly Repo Man is very hip...soon a cult classic...I guess I'm no film critic...gotta go ...B#...Acetone...

Re: Remember The Untouchables?
I personally loved Repo Man, it definitely has become a cult classic and use to get heavy airplay on one of the TV stations here. I think the film was actually ahead of it's time because it was so out there, yet the are a million films popping out now trying to pull off the same ridiculous situations that fall flat and look like they tried way too hard. It's a silly movie, but having all food and drink products with cheap labels that say "Food" or "Beer" on them? I think there is a degree of brilliance in that. Whether it be on purpose or because they didn't have the movie for sponsorship.

Re: Remember The Untouchables?
I thought it was a brilliant film. The dying Punk I thought was genius and I too thought the tins of food were great. And Mods in it too! A cult classic without a doubt. I have never looked at a Magic tree air freshener in a car the same way since... lol

Re: Remember The Untouchables?
We were in a couple other flicks too, if you can find them..."Party Animal"...very juvenile film...little redeemable value... but we do perform a mean rendition of "The General"...You can see me wail on my old Acetone organ (of which I took my tag)...lots of L.A. mods/friends of the day made up our audience..."No Man's Land"-Charlie Sheen stars...I'd already left the U.T.'s, so they have someone mimicking my vocal, singing "What's Gone Wrong"...B#...Acetone...

M-Mod;
That' a good site, there...whoever Mr.Suave is...he does a pretty good bio of us and with a couple of pictures, no less...Here's a little background about my joining the band...I was a recording engineer at a studio in North Hollywood called "The Dreamship"...I had worked on sessions with various local bands (most notably "Los Crusados" & "X")...The Untouchables came into Dreamship to record "The General" and "Tropical Bird"...They're producer (Roger Harris) asked me to play organ on Tropical Bird, which I did (the old Acetone organ)...They liked it so much, I was asked to sit in at a couple gigs...I eventually replaced the second guitarist in the band...a guy named Terry...anyway, that's where I started...
Hey, I'm progressing nicely on the mixing of my CD...any good graphically artist mods out there that want to provide artwork for my project? must work rather inexpensively(cheaply)...I'll probably just forego a band name and just use my tag...B#...Acetone...

Re: Remember The Untouchables?
Wow - loved the Untouchables! Got all the stuff I could find of theirs here in England. A few cool twelve inches still in mint condition get an airnig now and then.
The live version of Stepping Stone on the 'B' Side of Free Yourself is awsome and, though I sound like an arse-licker, the keyboards on that track was the thing that turned me on to the band.
Rocking stuff!
