New York City Hardcore Metal Scene
1988–1991
From 1988 to 1991, I played guitar in bands throughout NYC, evolving into the hardcore band “Anti,” with Veronica Evanega — vocals, Jay Joseph — bass, and JoeMitch on drums.
The scene included bands Prong, White Zombie, Helmet, Cop Shoot Cop, and Lunachicks, playing at venues including Wah-Wah Hut, Pyramid, Lismar Lounge, Beirut 1 & 2, Brooklyn & Queens clubs, and Lone Star Cafe/Greenwich Village.
“Roni” ran sound at CBGB’s. She was the cog to the entire scene. I was lucky to meet her and Jay and be a part of it all.
Veronica Evanega
Veronica (Roni) Evanega | Multi-disciplined Artist | Entrepreneur | Parsons School of Design.
Lone Star Cafe — Greenwich Village
“We played the Lone Star Cafe/Greenwich Village before it moved uptown. Jimi Hendrix often jammed there after Electric Lady Studio sessions, hence the notoriety - the goto ‘hang’ for Jimmy page, Eric Clapton, SRV, etc…when thru town.
A small venue, tight stage, vibe was built in as you can imagine. Intense to think about.”
Brooklyn Rehearsal Space — 1990
“Brooklyn Br 1990. Lived & rehearsed in Jay Joseph's bldg/4thAve6thSt/ParkSlope/old funeral parlor.
Slept and rehearsed in the embalming room in the basement. Literally, a tomb when doors closed. Condos there now. Haunted, I'm sure.
Rock and Roll!”
Helmet — “Blacktop” Video
“Me, Roni Evanega, & Page Hamilton (gtr-Helmet) drove around NYC in my toyota pickup, shooting B-roll for Helmet's world premier Video ‘BlackTop’.
The images flash in the video bkgrnd.
Helmet is using our Brklyn rehearsal room in part of the video, and my Marshall rig!”

Bedrock — MTV Event / Cause & Effect
1994
Bedrock opened an MTV event for Billboard Top 10 band “Cause & Effect.”
“Killer gig story – Bedrock- opens MTV event for Billboard Top 10 Band – ‘Cause & Effect’ 1994. Great Venue. Huge 3 Tier stage. Huge crowd.
Bedrock was a 3piece metal funk band.
Our show ‘Intro’ was me screaming something, drummer starts 16th note drum roll as I run down the 3 tiers, jump to the last tier, slam the downbeat of the tune, and we’re ‘in’.
Mike is 50 feet away stage left.
Right at the very moment I start running down the tier…out of nowhere, this dude starts running right beside me…I leap to the last tier, the dude swan dives into the crowd, we hit the downbeat with a vengeance…Raaaaaawk…security team flies to the middle of the crowd and starts beating dude’s ass.
The crowd erupts, the metal riffing up their asses, everyone jumps on the security team, massive mosh pit…and we’re only 10 seconds in….never let up the entire 30 minute opening set….so much fun.”
