Michael is an American artist, musician, filmmaker and former music industry marketing representative; most notable for his stint as the live touring drummer for the KMFDM spin-off, Slick Idiot (from 2000 to 2005). He has also worked with acclaimed two-time Grammy nominated music video director, Jim Swaffield, during the R. Kelly cult classic, "Trapped in the Closet" era. Currently he is the host of his own comedy radio/talk format podcast called Rock'n The Mike; and continues working on various live & recorded music & video projects and also speaking at podcasting, video post-production and social media events."
Mike Hoffman has played guitar in NYC bands since a teenager, from his first band, scum-rock miscreants "Sloth" to the over-revved powerpop outfit "Vacant Lot" to punkpop melody-mongers "Kitty and the Kowalskis". He loves old Les Pauls going through old Marshalls. And he's an asshole, so lucky for him he can play guitar pretty alright. [We don't think he's an asshole, but he wrote his bio and who are we to censor a punk soul?] "Devyl" Dave Sussman is currently the guitarist in Vulgaras and formerly of Bile. He rocks, looks hot in a suit, and we are pleased to have him with us in the Sex Crimes Cabaret band. In the past, Kitty Kowalski was on guitar before she moved far away.
NYC based DJ/engineer/sound designer & producer, M!lk (aka Geoxie Leche) has been a dance club and audio industry fixture since the ripe age of 19. His ground breaking DJ style helped shape the burgeoning East Village dance culture of the early 90's, landing him stints at the infamous Save The Robots, the Pyramid Club, The World, and Alcatraz among others. Along with torch jazz singer Rhe DeVille, the prolific party producer and sound designer also was half of the seminal underground performance art group, Whoop-Z Daisy; as well and producing, co-writing and performing with the glam/punk/electro group, Saint Eve. He also scored and performed in the off Broadway run of Justin Swain's "BUMP" for which he mixed the entire underscore live from the stage.
