Steve Shelley, born 23 June 1963, Midland, Michigan. Started his first band, the Crucifucks,
together with his friend Scott Begerston, Doc Dart and Docs's cousin Joe Dart. After
supporting the Dead Kennedys they were signed up by Alternative Tentacles. Steve's interest
in more experimental music was brought out in his work for Spastic Rythm Tarts. After
house-sitting for Kim and Thurston while they were touring the UK in 1985, Steve was asked
to join Sonic Youth when Bob Bert left the band. Like the other members of Sonic, Steve is
involved in a number of side projects. These include his own band Mosquito and his
contribution as a drummer to Thurston's Psychic Hearts. Currently Steve's second band
is Two Dollar Guitar. He plays in it together with Tim Foljahn and has released
a number of albums on his own label Smells Like Records.
