WHY I LIKE REDD KROSS: They remind me a little bit of the Beatles. I think Jeffs voice is a cross between John Lennon & Davey Jones. I had always heard of Redd Kross but not until I started dating this one guy in particular, who was a huge Redd Kross fan, did I really begin to appreciate them. The first time I saw them was incredible. I had never been so excited seeing any group before in my life! Every show I went to the fans were great, no fights, nobody was pushing or shoving, everyone just got along and had a great time. I was screaming and dancing around like a big ass, but an ass who was enjoying herself! Unfortunately it's been almost 4 years since I've seen them play. I've been to about 5 or 6 of their shows and I'm just sad to say I didn't like them sooner. I hope that they haven't broken up for good and if they have, that maybe they'll consider doing a few random shows around the L.A. area. They're a truly unique, influential band that just didn't catch on, but the people that do like them are hardcore, dedicated, loving fans.

Favorite Bands: The Beatles & Redd Kross are my top 2. Others are The Go Go's, Madonna, Duran Duran, Blondie, No Doubt, Rage Against the Machine, NIN, The Muffs, The Queers, Green Day, Jewel, Sarah McLachlan, Operation Ivy, Beastie Boys, Clash, The Jam. What else, some obscure stuff like Voice of the Beehive, Strawberry Switchblade. I don't like a whole lot of new music with an exception for Eminem. ANYTHING but country.

Hobbies: I go to dork conventions and collect Star Wars figures. I also build websites and love Astronomy.

Fav Movies: Oh boy, well I love all the Star Wars movies, Empire is the best. All the Beatles movies, I love the 80's John Hughes movies, 16 Candles, Breakfast Club. I also like Tommy Boy, Friday, Jawbreaker, Clueless, Romeo Must Die was cool and X-Men, Dogma. Tim Burton rocks my world, I also love Beetlejuice, and Edward Scissorhands. The Crow was great too.

Likes: Sushi is the best! Nothing to greasy, makes me dizzy, Ben and Jerrys Chocolate Chip cookie dough ice cream is yummy, and banana cream pie. Joes Pizza in Greenwich Village (NYC) has the BEST pizza! I also listen to Howard Stern every morning. I love all things Snoopy & The Beatles, I collect them too. Brandon Lee was my favorite actor, I can't believe he's gone..sniffle

Dislikes: People who don't take responsibility for their kids and blame it on society. Most people in general, immature teenyboppers. Jealous, stupid people who are fake, I guess that means 99% of industry people.

About Elephant Flares: I started building this site sometime around July 2000. Unfortunately I didn't have mass amounts of time to dedicate to it until January 2001. The site is still under construction and I will probably end up changing the layout. However I'm glad that I have a good portion of this site up. I've been wanting to build a Redd Kross site for the last four years and I'm sorry to say that they are one of the most underrated bands, at least in my opinion.
