Richard Schmitt

If they were a boy band, Rich would be "the handsome one," but they aren't, so, we will call him "the drummer."

Rape

One fateful night at the Showcase Theater in Corona, CA Vic DiCara borrowed and then proceeded to rape Mikkei's guitar. After playing it with a mic stand, hammering it with fists, riding it like a bogie board, and generally making sweet love to it, it was returned to the beaming Future Primitive guitarist. With only permanent notches in the fretboard and frets and a broken pickup, the affair was enjoyed by all...well except perhaps the guitar.
