Lucky grew up in London during the great
Punk yrs. Lucky feels saved by Punk Rock'n'Roll. Lucky has done
life in NYC doing a variety of jobs. One day after having read the dictionary out of sheer boredom, Lucky moved on to the yellow pages to see what other people did in life and kept stopping at publishing, and so was born the New York Waste newspaper. One thing about Lucky is that Lucky loves the printed page. Always going to gigs and shows with some sort of camera in pocket, shooting the underground rock scene in NYC for 17 yrs exclusively for the New York Waste newspaper, "a little rag that I have put out since 97 with the help of some of the best, the weirdest and the wildest that nyc?s has to offer?" |

Gary Pig Gold The Man The Myth The Pig grew straight up in O Canada beneath the spell of mighty CHUM 1050-AM Toronto, watched The Monkees on TV faithfully every Monday night as a child, named his own first Prefab Four after a certain “I Am The Walrus” lyric, saw Jimi Hendrix at the first-ever concert he ever snuck in to, heard Joe Strummer’s 101’ers open for The Troggs on his first-ever night in London, started The Pig Paper, Canada’s first self-published music fanzine, to sell as a fake concert programme outside shows by The Who, started Pig Records so he could sell some Simply Saucer 45’s too, ran away to Surf City, USA so he could tour Australia (almost) with Jan & Dean (except he forgot his passport), spent the dreaded 1980’s back home leading the Canadian Endless Summer Band – the Great White Northland’s only, a-hemm, authorized Beach Boys tribute band, had Some Time in New York City with the former singer from Teenage Head and the former drummist from Television, released the first-ever “indie” album on the former Soviet Union’s Melodiya label, put together the severely alt. country Ghost Rockets so he could try to get a song into the second Brady Bunch movie, has contributed to books and records on and with everyone from Pat Boone and Jim Carroll to Jandek and the Bay City Rollers, and yet still proudly contributes his own particular brand of run-on sentencing to each and every issue of New York Waste he can! |

Somewhat of a tortured soul. Writes
because he has to. Not so sure if anyone will ever hear his songs
or read his work but that's OK, as long as he is amusing himself,
it's all good. |

Christian
Gabriel also known as "Christian Gabriel Fazio" evolved from the cold unforgiving streets of Amityville, NY. Coming from a family of artists, he grew up drawing his favorite comic book heroes and cartoons. During his teenage years, he moved to Las Vegas where he would soon enlist in the Marine Corps. It wasn't until he was deployed to Iraq in 2005 that would stare death in the face for the first time and that's when he truly gained ample respect for the departed. With months away from a Bachelors degree in Media Arts & Animation, he currently resides in Las Vegas. |
