Hi. My name
is Michelle. All my friends call me "Mooshy" and it is fine
if you do too. I am the guitarist and vocals for my band NEMESIS.
I have a 1962 G-S Gibson Guitar and an Applause Accoustic/Electric
and really old Fender amp. with awesome reverb. I write and
arrange most of our original stuff. I love oldies. The Beatles
are one of my favorite groups.
Another early
band was The Chromatics. Jenifer Hagio was also in this band
with Michelle.
Pineapple Upside-Down
was the most recent of the bands. Michelle was in this band
with her best friend Jenifer Hagio and drummer Danna Hawley.
