Famous tattoo: Steve and The Belmondsey Joyriders in DETROIT!

THE BELMONDSEY JOYRIDERS

Steve Godoy

Two of my blog clients are the Godoy twins Steve and Art. These guys are absolutely bionic and talented in so many ways. They are musicians Steve drums and Art guitar (boy are they ever), Pro skateboarders and tattoo artists. Steve lives in Santa Monica and Art is in Vancouver Canada. I usually chat with Art. But it turned out that his brother Steve was playing with The Belmondsey Joyriders at the Corktown Tavern in Detroit.

Deniz Tek and Steve's twin brother Art really wanted me to go down and meet Steve so Kimmer and the Hatter took off to Detroit again! All three of these guys are my blogger clients. Believe it or not I am still up! Must have been that music and coney dog!

Steve Hatter Gary and Marty

We had to sit through a band before my guys went on and their drummer was pretty good and I said so to Steve. He laughed and told me he was going to make him look like a 6 year old and I'll be damned if he didn't do JUST THAT. Man did Steve beat the tar out of that kit!

Fierce!

All I could do is stare in disbelief at that guy!

Gary really kept the crowd fired up!

After the show we took the boys in the band to the Holiday Inn and after they checked in we took them on a landmark tour of Detroit. We ate at Lafayette Coney Island, saw the big new buildings, saw the old train station but best of all...

I shot them on the porch of the old run down MC5 house on 3rd and Canfield

Then I shot them outside the abandoned Grande Ballroom

Marty got back in the jeep because it was freezing at 4am! Smartest one of all of us!

I had such a great time! Haven't had that much fun since the 80's! Can't wait to meet Art and see the brothers play music together! Hanging with Steve made me want to go get a tattoo of the Radio Birdman symbol! But a tiny one...
