Marky DeSade ("DeSantis"):  

LIFE: When I was a kid growing up I got in to glitter and gutter (junkie/shock) rock in '75, then I got into punk and new wave in '78 and started going to gigs in '80 (oh man, I'm dating myself - and rock stars aren't supposed to do that, now are they? Hahaha...). In 1980 I began singing and writing songs and lyrics, AND I STILL DO, under the alias "CAPTAIN ANARCHY" for the notorious old school "Spraypaint Heroes of Punk Rock" band from the Westside that's called H. x P. (pronounced "H P", the "x" is silent - it's a ghetto graffiti punk rock "homeboy" thang "Yo"!) that has played support slots over the years for major national touring punk rock headliners like Bad Religion and Social Distortion, etc., and has just released a 5 song EP co-produced by legendary drummer & producer Derek O'Brien of Social Distortion and Adolescents fame. I grew up in Culver City ("The Heart of Screenland"), smack dab between Venice/Santa Monica (aka "Dogtown") and Hollywood, CA. On the weeknights my teenage friends and I used to sneak out of the house to party with other punk rockers and some of the Suicidal Tendencies original band members and related Venice bands like Neighborhood Watch, No Mercy, etc. and the "Suicidal Cycos" homies at Mar Vista Park, which was the only cool place close to where we lived where punks hung out and partied. We ditched school a lot too and hung out there or at Venice Beach on the boardwalk or in S.M. at the mall and at the hip stores NaNa and Aardvarks. We also ditched school in the day or cruised up on the weekends in the day or night and hung out in Hollywood on Melrose Ave. and panhandled and partied in the alleys behind or in the stores (anyone remember Jim and his store Poseur ?). We also went to gigs and hung out afterwards at Oki Dogs, Motel Hell, Errol Flynn's, etc. with other punks and sometimes some of the heads from the L.A.D.S. (L.A. Death Squad), who gave me my nickname "Captain Anarchy" because I was a kid singer in a socio-political punk band that dressed like a punk rock Zorro, and members of H.R.P. (R.I.P. - Eric "Shooter" McVean) and various heads from the Dogpatch Winos and The Firm (anyone remember Tony? He used to watch out for us!). Some nights we used to squat at the Sarah Street house in North Hollywood and get rides to raid the McDonald's dumpsters for food in the morning from the homies from F.F.F. (Fight For Freedom). I ran away and lived at the house on and off for a while with Eric "Shooter" McVane of H.R.P. (Hollywood Rat Patrol) when my mom kicked me out for shaving my head, ditching school, staying out until 2am after gigs and coming home drunk (you know; the crazy things kids do...). I liked Sarah House and I liked staying there, it was fun and it was my first experience living away from home. Besides, we ate well every day thanks to the F.F.F. homies and we cranked the tunes, got drunk, smoked herb & clove cigarettes and did what we wanted. It's a bummer that those days are kind of a beer-goggled blur and hence I don't remember a lot of the people I knew back then and/or I have since lost touch with some of them since. I'm just talking here about various people and groups that I knew or hung out with when I was growing up, I ain't "from" anywhere, I just know a lot of different people. Most of my friends and I were never actually in any particular punk "gang", so don't be asking me where I'm "from", because the only place I'm "from" is The Kingdom of Heaven under the Command of God! We caught a lot of flack from some of the heads on all fronts because we lived between the "territories" and floated between them, but we also had a lot of friends on all sides, and we still do (so don't f%#k around fool...). I also now sing for the Scourge of the Seven Seas Medieval & Pirate Themed Dark Metal Minstrel Band DEVIL'S ALLEY (feat. Mick Wicked - aka Mitch Twersky of "Hated Principles" fame), the Infamous Junkie Rock/Punk Band THE HATE JUNKIES, Hollywood's Premier Motley Crue Tribute Band CHILDREN OF THE BEAST, and most notably the band that many of you have seen before, known as Hollywood's Heaviest, Nationally Televised, Critically Acclaimed Number One Underground Glam-Metal Band REVLON RED !!! SCHOOL: BIGGEST CRUSHES: Some of my biggest crushes were on Selena Woolery, Cindy Schiffris, Sandy Geisel, Yvette Teodorovich and Anna Winstein... and then there were the two girls that had a crush on me which were Carrie and Fawn.... all of whom I got to at least first base with... hehehe...... just to name a few.... but that's no big secret ! Just a few of the girls who got away were Dana Dennis, Jana Rajlich and Leisa Inman... hehehe.... none of which I ever really got very far or even anywhere period with from what I remember.... but that was a long time ago.... :-( And of course there was Buffy Gibbs... the girl that was the first true love of my life and my girlfriend for almost three years shortly after I graduated.... Then there was Christy Caldwell.... who was my girlfriend for a short while many years after school was out. Some of the girls that I dated and/or were my girlfriends while we were in school were punk rock girls that didn't actually go to C.C.H.S., but some of you may remember some of them... like Julie from Glendale, Anne from Hollywood, and most notably Lisa Murray who went to Westchester High School, graduated about three years before me, and used to work at the store NaNa in Santa Monica for many years with her best friend Lisa Riley.... Lisa Murray and I dated on and off about every ten years or so after that when we would come across each other again in life, and she was my actual girlfriend for almost four years up until just recently. These are just a few of the girls that I had a crush on in high school.... I'll add more names when I get a chance to really think about it... as it's been a long time, and there's been many, many, many girls that I've met, made out with, fooled around with, dated, lived with, and been in love with since then.... hehehe.......
