GET IT. Listen and be stoked. I love when I find something that's been here for years and sort of forgotten in a pile of crap. This however is NOT crap.....give your ears an ass kicking.
Duane Peters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Duane Peters (born 1961), nicknamed "The Master of Disaster",[1] is a punk rock singer/songwriter and professional skateboarder, who has been at the top of the sport for almost 30 years.
Biography
Peters is credited for inventing many tricks, such as the "acid drop" into a pool/bowl, the "layback grind", the "Indy air", the "Sweeper", the "backside layback grind revert", the "fakie hang-up" (a.k.a. "Disaster"), the "invert revert", the "fakie thruster", and the "loop of death", a full 360-degree rotation in a specially designed loop.[2] He also, along with Neil Blender, helped to evolve the footplant into the more dynamic fastplant
Peters was one of the very first high profile skaters to embrace punk rock, cutting his hair short and narrowing his jeans when most skaters were still wearing 1970s fashions. However, in the mid-1980s, Peters embraced a "mellow" lifestyle. This included distancing himself from the punks of the era, even joining a "white-funk/new-wave-romantic" band in 1984.[3]
Peters was named Transworld Skateboarding's "Legend" in 2003. He is a professional skateboarder who rides for Pocket Pistols Skates, and also a subdivision of the Black Label Skateboards called Emergency. In May 2005, Black Label Skateboards released a biographic film, entitled Who Cares: The Duane Peters Story,[4] and a second documentary is planned by havocTV, focusing on Peters' and Parks' path to sobriety.[5]
Along with skateboarding, Peters is a well-known punk rock singer. He has formed bands such as the US Bombs, Political Crap, Die' Hunns (also known as Duane Peters and The Hunns), Duane Peters Gunfight, and Exploding Fuckdolls. He also owns a record label called Disaster Records,[6] which represents bands such as The Briggs, Civet and The Hollowpoints.
In 2000, Peters formed Duane Peters and The Hunns with Rob Milucky (previously of The Grabbers and The Pushers fame.) Within two years, the band released three full-length albums and undertook both national and European tours. At a The Damned show in 2002, Peters met future wife Corey Parks, who had just left her previous band, Nashville Pussy. Parks joined Duane Peters and the Hunns on bass guitar and soon the band changed their name to Die Hunns, recorded a fourth full-length album entitled Fire Fight, and embarked on another tour.
Peters is married to Parks, with whom he has a son, Clash Thomas Peters (born in 2004). Clash is the stepbrother to oldest child Schuyler and middle child Chess (Chelsea) Peters; Both from a previous marriage.
Peters has also struggled with drug addictions, mainly heroin, for around 10 years. As of March 2007, Peters and his current band, Die Hunns canceled their tour as Peters once again entered rehabilitation facility.
Peters 20 year-old son Chess (Chelsea) Peters was killed in a car accident on July 6, 2007. [7]
In late 2008, Peters started another independent record label called Indian Recordings. The second Duane Peters Gunfight album entitled Checkmate will be released through this label in March, 2009.

GOOD VIBES WITH SEPPI
Seppi Scholler is one of our snow bros from Austria. He and some of the guys from the shop became friends by chance while Seppi was in the US a few years back. If you "googled" him you would find all sorts of things but here's a quick catch up on the most positive and happy guy in snowboarding.
Huck Mag interview
Seppi has been taking laps with TJ Schneider and done some clips for TJ's Snowboard Realms. His big project though has been launching LOVE over in Austria and it sounds like things are starting to happen for them. Seppi has a one footed shot here on one of their new snowboards ( Made in the Elan factory )...t-s, hoodies, and skate decks are also being made with LOVE. He mentioned that the LOVE video is in the works too, so things seem to be busy over there.
Like I said he's a happy guy and doing good things for others too. Recently Seppi said that (28. February - 1st March)"... our Social Charity Kids Weekend went down in Flachauwinkel.
In cooperation with Flachauwinkel and Blue Tomato we took 10 orphanage Kids from the “Kinderheim Stiefern” for 2 days out to Flachauwinkel and on the slopes to have a good time with us and the other Love Teamriders including Marc Swoboda, Ditz Pichler, Dominik Wagner, and me." ( Seppi )
( part of an email with Seppi ..)
"Yeah man, I'm all good! I've had a really super busy snowboard season. And "besides" this LOVE is also groweing really good. We also started to make snowboards! I'm really stoked about this! The sentence "love is freedom"written on the boards...also kinda like means that I'm "independent" and "grown up" and free from everyone now.. :). I had really good print and tv coverage this year. And I really focused the whole season (it's not over untill end of July..) on filmeing, because we will bring out an own LOVE team movie in October. As soon as the teaser is ready in summer, I'll send it to you guys. We will really try to make the movie different. It will have about 70 % snowboard and 30 % skateboard in it. Will have a big "art" and "social" aspect and I promise will be fun.. :) Snowboarders will be: Stefan Gimpl, Marc swoboda, Me, Flo mausser, and some more. I also asked Danny (Garrity) to give me some shots from him for the friends part! Also TJ Schneider will have some shots for example. We just went rideing together and he made some snowboard realms episode. In generall...we had A MEGA POWDER WINTER this year!!! Ok thats a little update on my last year.. :)"
.............See all the happy faces in there? The guys got move positive vibes than anyone I have ever met and it's awesome.
So keep your eyes open for the logo shown here and check out the Huck Mag interview too. In a world torn up with a lousy economy, countries at war, and other bummer happenings, it's nice to see someone trying to just keep things positive. Spread the LOVE.
