Trey Deuce

From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History

Auto-bio in 60 seconds- You already know what it is. I am a former Old Louisville resident and I was influenced to start making noise by The Dead Boys, Angry Samoans, Reagan Youth, Screeching Weasel, Warzone, The Stooges, etc. I dropped out of school in seventh grade, and hitched and hopped trains accross the country until I contracted the clap, TB, whooping cough, and gonorrhea forcing me to spend years in bed until I was well enough and then spent months of physical therapy learning to walk again and adjusting to a rod in my leg that was crushed when I miscalculated a jump onto a train. After my bed sores quit leaking I joined my first band The Shanks when I was 18, and somehow joined the Sickies a year. I also played with Half Sloppy for a minute. As much as I like minimal culture, bathtub crank, the impending feeling of hopelessness that spreads like Hep C on a dirty rig entering a collapsed vein, watching everyone insult each other behind their backs and having the same done to me I am sure, I moved to Austin Texas on the first of 2005. I still have repesct and love all my friends back home but Louisville is no good for me. I had to quit playing for a while due to habitually shooting speed into my leg, messing up my kick pedal playing abilities, but it healed and now I currently play in a band called the Saint Street Brawlers (www.myspace.com.saintstreetbrawlers -the band Myspace page is lazy, I know...) in Austin. OK.
