DEAD CITY PUNX Documentary Premiere

 For the past couple years I've been working as a Producer and Writer on a documentary about LA's most notorious band, DEAD CITY. You may have seen helicopter footage from one of their shows on the news...like when a few thousand people shut down the 5 and 110 freeway, or when they earned the ire of LA Mayor Karen Bass after causing Memorial Day mayhem.

The story behind the stories is even more insane, and I was honored to work with director Roger Gastman and executive producer Zack de la Rocha (from one of my favorite bands, Rage Against the Machine) to help put together DEAD CITY PUNX, a documentary that takes viewers into the fire and frenzy.

The world premiere will be held on Thursday April 16th, 2026 at the Regent Theater in Downtown LA (two shows, tickets available HERE), check out the trailer below!

New Project Announced! "SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE," the official autobiography of Robby Krieger from The Doors!

Rolling Stone has just announced a project I've been working hard on for the past couple years:

Set The Night On Fire: Living, Dying, and Playing Guitar with The Doors -- the official autobiography of guitarist Robby Krieger

I've been wanting to shout about this one for a long time! This is Robby's first book ever, and it is full of never-before-told stories from his time with the Doors and beyond. We put a lot of labor (and a lot of love) into creating a narrative that will offer a fresh perspective on the band's history, and that will be accessible to new fans and long-time fans alike.

I was a HUGE Doors fan growing up...in fact, the first song I ever sang on stage with a band was "Roadhouse Blues" at age 13. Working with Robby has been an honor and a privilege, and also a total pleasure since he's one of the sweetest guys you'll ever meet.

If you're a fan of rock 'n' roll memoirs, this one will be tough to beat: riots, nudity, acid, police brutality, mental illness, Elvis, heroin addiction, Hells Angels, blasphemy, punk rock, reggae, cancer, syphilis, exotic cats, and Jim friggin' Morrison...

Pre-Order Your Copy Now! You don't want this one spoiled for you!!

I Directed A Music Video About A Masochistic Clown

I recently directed a music video for Fat Mike's alter ego, Cokie the Clown. The song is called "Negative Reel" and the video was as uncomfortable to make as it is to watch...

You can order Cokie's new album, "You're Welcome," from Fat Wreck Chords by clicking here. More uncomfortable Cokie videos coming soon!
