Paul's Biodegradable Bio

Our bald and beautiful drummer is the founding member of the band.  As a die hard Steely Dan freak, Paul is also a collector of Steely Dan paraphernalia.  So, if you have any rare Steely collectibles, please send them all to him.  He prefers posters, but I'm sure he'll take whatever you offer if he's in a good mood that day.

Born in Donald Fagen's home state of NJ in 1957, Paul is dealing with his mid-life crisis by performing Steely Dan's music in the first band he's been in since his teens.  It was either that, or a red sports car.

Having briefly met both Donald Fagen, and Walter Becker backstage after a show in NY City in 1995, Paul completely embarrassed himself by forgetting to let go of Donald's hand after their initial greeting.  Furthermore, during a photo op later on that evening, Paul was trying to get Donald, Walter, and a host of others, to smile so he could take their picture.  Unfortunately, in a brief moment of stupidity, Paul said, "Oh, won't you smile for the camera?"  Followed by Donald saying, "Well, we would... if you'd say something funny"

It just hasn't been the same for Paul ever since, so he decided to try and make amends by paying tribute to the music of Steely Dan, as the drummer of Doctor Wu.
