Biography of Ricky The Steamboat

The needle touched the record in the first month of Brandon's college life, and from then on, he was hooked. He spent his college years exploring the many facets of dance music and honing his skills behind the decks as the Electronic Music Director at his school's radio station, while also spinning at various events, both big and small, around the state. However, the unbridled excitement of spinning at empty house parties and over unnoticed airwaves could only last so long before the desire for something more would set in. Brandon's escape from Indiana couldn't be more anticipated.

Post-graduation, Mr. Invergo returned to his birthplace of Chicago, where he was quickly assimilated, quite unwillingly one might add, into the NBFC. While it was his stunning good looks that originally gained him membership to the elusive cabal, it was soon discovered that, like other members, he also had talents behind the decks.

His eclectic sets, ranging from acid to techno to electro to just downright weird, can now be heard at a variety of clubs, bars, and sketchy afterparties around Chicago. Never taking himself too seriously, Brandon simply aims to provide a good time with great music by which to properly jack.

When he's not pretending to be a DJ, this young lad also likes to moonlight as a musician, producing various forms of techno under his birth name; dark ambient music to commit suicide by as Jakob Creutzfeldt; and wrestling music from the distant future's past as one half of the tag-team duo Ricky the Steamboat.
