 Currently
based in the wilds of upstate New York by way of
Los Angeles, the origins of Mason Mixx are
in the punk and new wave insanity
of LA. Having a shotgun pulled on him behind The Troubadour in West Hollywood, running into Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of The Doors, in a dark alley behind the same club for a brief, friendly chat. The San Pedro house party with Black Flag (Minutemen serving as bouncers) cut short by the police. Opening the show for Tom Verlaine at a club in Anaheim was an amazing experience. What a tremendous artist he was. Watching Iggy Pop do a back flip over the drummer at a word-of-mouth-only show, secretly hosted at the Cuckoo's Nest in Costa Mesa. Playing that night in Iggy's band was Glen Matlock (original bass player with the Sex Pistols) along with Patti Smith's guitarist, Lenny Kaye. Let the joyful insanity continue!
