Joe's the latest member to join Victim & is a long

time veteran of the local music scene. He began

playing in & around Baltimore, Md. for a number of

years before coming to Houston. His influences are

John Paul Jones, Geezer Butler, Dennis Dunnaway & Gene

Simmons, plus others like Roger Glover, Geddy Lee,

Steve Harris & Billy Sheehan, just to name a few.

After moving to Houston he played in Venus, Filthy

Rich, & Concussion Bleu' and has worked with Mr.

Sinister & Downtown Bruno, plus numberous other bands

along the way(you guys know who you are). After a few

months with Hal Bruni & the High Rollers, a country

band, playing in Louisiana, Mississippi & Alabama, Joe

retired from playing and began working audio/sound

gigs, being behind the scenes instead of on the stage.

After a friend told him about Victim's search for a

bassist,  he decided to un-retire & jam with the band &

see what would happen. You can guess what happened &

he's glad to be out of retirement too!!!
