 Poor Dumb Bastards - (Houston, TX ) Poor Dumb Bastards PDB was formed in March 1991 by long time hetero life partners and musical collaborators, Mike Porterfield and Byron Dean. The initial interest was to find a means to get into Emo’s for free, later they discovered Emo’s was always free. None the less the debaucherous shit-wagon known as Poor Dumb Bastards was set in motion. Drawing on their collective influences and experiences from some of their earlier work, bands like Cretinoid, Plutonium Flatheads and the Byron Weird Group, Mike and Byron set out create a genre all their own, hence “Texas Drunk Rock” was born. Add the non bass playing talents of Steve Scholtes and the competent, metronomic drumming of Chi Chi Macoola, and PDB were able to carve their initials on the bathroom door of the Texas music scene. Through the many years and many lineup changes, Poor Dumb Bastards have more than paid their dues. These Ill-minded sewer rockers have stayed true to their founding principals. POWER, PERFORMANCE, PERVERSION

 Chelsea Hotel - (Houston, TX ) This Houston, TX band is fronted by Robert Conn on guitar and vocals. Conn was one of the original members of The Pagans and Defnics from Cleveland, OH. Robert was also on The Plague "Just Say No" classic thrash punk album..... Conn maintains his raw edge "punk n' roll" style of writing with Chelsea Hotel.....Bass duties are handled by Jewels. This Houston girl knows how to rock with the best of 'em, and she's all about playin' some kick ass Texas rock n roll!!!.... In the past few months here in 2009 we have added Curt DeGidio on 2nd guitar ... This is a great addition to the lineup. Curt hails from Cleveland, OH and did time with The Chrome Kickers as well as other projects... Now in 2010 we have added Zak Ward on drums. Zak is a natural, great rock n roll drummer to say the least! ... The band has had Robb "Dog" Loughmiller on drums, former Junkyard man Max Gottlieb on guitar, Billy Kenner on drums and a brief time with Lonnie Vincent of The Bulletboys who sat in for a few gigs and practices in late '08/ early '09. Thanks to all who have passed through this band we call CHELSEA HOTEL, for that very reason!
