True enough, I make band jewelry. My latest “musical” piece is for the Punk Rock Band “The Xagerations” based out of Portland, OR. Formed between my Daughter Amber (Bass), her husband Jared (Drums) and their friend and lead guitarist Tom, they play at the Red Room there in the beautiful city of Portland on a regular basis. Their music is classically Punk: loud, raucous and fun with a hint of an addictive persuasion to get up and dance at a moment’s notice.

A piece of artwork provided by one of Amber’s friends, this image was selected as a logo to help illustrate the kind of “feeling” they often present on stage: a well attired “Zombie-esque” skull with a mammoth stogy clutched between the choppers.

I am presenting the amulet through my website (from which they get a percentage of the sales), however if you attend their concerts, you may purchase the bronze versions directly from them, and let me encourage you to do so. If you haven’t heard them, the Xagerations released their first recording: “The Best Demo Ever” available (again) at their concerts and directly through their website. Check it out and hear clips for it at their MySpace place.

Dance like a zombie!
