Gila Biography
Gila is best described as a member of the cast of Goodfellas who hung
out at art spaces instead of secret basement bars. Born and raised in
the kitchen and wine cellars, he approaches life situations the way a
mixture of King Diamond meets Chris Farley would. His aura can be
smelled in any Misfits or Black Flag album art or booklet. He had an
emo hairstyle in his past life as well, but never wore jeans four sizes
too small.
Although he is a hardcore kid at heart and an avid early-'90s
wrestling enthusiast, he loves all things related to sound, food, the
Internet, the art of fighting, and the hairstyles of Italian soccer
players. He sort of likes people too, and thinks the future of this
torrid world is in their hands. Perhaps the best description of Gila
would be that he is a lover, not a writer.
