Mike E
Born in Inglewood, CA, Mike started taking drum lessons from Kay Carlson at Westchester Music at age 5. He played in various garage and cover bands in high school, and met Doug Welbaum at Hogan's House of Music in Lawndale where Doug worked at the time. In the late 70s, Mike dropped the drums temporarily and took up bass as a founding member of L.A. punk band, The Skabbs. After marrying, he played guitar in a blues band, then played drums again for experimental pop band, The Magpies. In the mid-90s, Mike and Doug hooked up again to form The Boyds along with Skabbs alum Steve Evans. Mike was introduced to the other Boys From The Wood by Doug Welbaum and the rest is history.
