Karate School Dropout

Karate School Dropout started close to 30 years ago in my basement with my friend Eric. We were asked to play a house party of a friend that Eric knew and he asked, "What's your band name?" And Eric jokingly replied with, "Um, Karate School Dropout." A play on to Beauty School Dropout by Grease. Eric moved to California a long time ago, I had a friend that played bass and she lives in Florida now, and our drummer was a drum machine. But I remained and revived the name and did things on my terms and my own way, but with the help of the ever talented and Chicago legendary producer, Mike Hagler.
Karate School Dropout's influences range from The Smashing Pumpkins and The Rentals to The Mamas and Papas and ABBA. I like to subtly get in your face but with lots of melodic and harmonic love surrounding you but intimidating you at the same time.
I wrote all the songs, played all the instruments (except for drums, that's a drum machine and Mike Hagler) I sang and arranged all the vocals, and I poured my heart into it for my own sanity.
"HokuPsychosister" and "Welcome to the Dojo" is literally EVERYTHING you need to know about me, but in song form. I hope you enjoy the sonic satisfaction of my records. If you don't, then screw you. I'm way too old to care about your Zillenial opinions. hehe.

Love always,
Karate School Dropout
