Ramon Medina
Guitar, Vocals, and Assorted Noisemakers
Born
in the late 60's in Florida on the same day Historians mark as the day
that Marlowe Tritt purchased the Ray Problys building on Broadway at a
public sale in Trenton, NJ, Mr. Medina continues to tread near great historic
moments. When Austin Thommerson asked Kyle Phillips to join him as MC
Ren and Stimpy one Halloween and found a drunk Phillips staggering in
a litter-box screaming "I'm Ren Hoek Dammit!" - Ramon was there. When
Larry Liska's Micro-brewed Beer caused many a drinker to hallucinate -
Ramon was there. When Kenny ran outside the Axiom naked after too much
acid [causing two Houston Patrol Officers to slow down, stop, think better
of it, and slowly pull away] - Ramon was there. Yes, truly on the cutting
edge of American history. Now as a founding member of The LP4, Mr. Medina
is truly revolutionizing obscure and irrelevant American Cultural history
by being in a band who he hopes one day to be bigger than the Shaggs ever
were in their lifetime!
Previous
bands included the primordial music collective known as Schlong Weasel
(with many members of the Mike Gunn, Dry Nod, Charalambides, The LP4,
and many others), Herpes media Blitz (a band with Clinton and Tom Carter),
Bongtooth which included future members of the Mike Gunn (John Cramer
and Kurt Mackey) and Project Grimm (Jim Otterson), a short stint with
an early Dry Nod, and one band whose name escapes him at the moment. He
also partially engineered the Mike Gunn's classic album "Almaron" in the
off hours of being a DJ at KTRU Rice University radio.
