TRASH
SOUTH BOUND
Andrew Currie went back to Australia where he was joined by Peter Hewitt, Alan Petersen,
Coco Santiago and Salman Agah. The crew was dropping like flies as Cardiel blew out his ankle
at the first stop, a backyard bowl in Brisbane. Agah was quick to slam and break his other wrist.
Further south in Sydney, Phelps, Roy and Stranger managed to inaugurate a classic street rumble
complete with broken bottles, cracked heads and a tornado of trash all in the name of internation-
al brotherhood. Down in Melbourne, Ben and Tas Pappas were spotted swinging off a monstrous
rope into the river. Ben got wrecked while Tas dried off at the local Pahran ramp and was caught
spinning heelflip gay twist reverts.

got a regional hit going in upstate New York and
Connecticut. On stations like Albany's WEQX the cut
"Chicken Ranch" is the most requested song. Group
members Steve Olson, Johnny Ray Bartell, Bill
Bateman and Greg Kuehn are said to be ready to tour
behind it. Olson's brother, the infamous Bucky, is
attending the prestigious Cal Arts school in Valencia
on a full scholarship. Is the man studying ballet?
Greg Carroll is apparently serious about becom-
ing a fully-illustrated persona. He was recently seen at
the San Diego stop of the Tattoo Tour hanging with
venerated skin artists Don Ed Hardy, Freddy Corbin,
Eddie Duetch, Nala and Samoan clan
