Starball at Metro playing the rock version of "Anger Management"

This was our first show with Mike Zelenko (Material Issue) on drums. This was 1999...i'm sporting a really short hair cut because i got this haircut in England that I hated so on the plane ride home, I cut my own hair with this tiny pair of scissors and totally ruined my hair. When I got back to CHicago, Dennis from Gro saved the day and gave me a cut that was actually pretty sweet.
Enjoy the nostalgia that was the 90's in Chicago....



Starball circa 1998 at Double Door

This is a video of Starball in it's heyday. Featuring Tamar Berk, Jodie Zeitler, and Scott Rosenquist (Quist)
Enjoy!! I remember how much fun this show was.
Oh and Chevelle opened for us! (how crazy is that) and Made To Fade headlined.


Your Friends And Neighbors

Hello all- it's been awhile. I was working on our video today and here it is finally. Watching this footage and seeing how happy we all were at one point, was difficult for me. Needless to say, it's finally done. Enjoy and please leave comments.
