Hey There!

Thanks for checking out my website! I know very little about web design, but I'm getting there, so bear with me.

This is the part where I justify my vanity and explain why I’m here. I’m a guy that wears a few different hats, and and lives a few different lives. First off, I’m a comic, which stemmed from my sense of humor and hatred of being hidden in the back of the stage, I guess. I’ve been performing on the Boston circuit for a couple of years, and have traveled all as far away as Los Angeles and San Francisco to perform my act.

Comedy is a fun business, period. Real good times, and real good friends. I couldn’t ask for more.

The good people of Portland also decided that I was the third funniest guy around! Of course, I was behind the legendaries Bob Marley and George Hamm. Those votes were casted by the readers of the Casco Bay Weekly, and you can see that article here.
here.

I’m also a writer, I’m currently writing for the Maine based Face Magazine, where I have a column called “Spank my ass and call me Shane Kinney.” How fitting.

I also freelance for a few publications, I have just recently sold an article to Modern drummer magazine, and I am a columnist for an upcoming worldwide comedy publication called Tirade.

For you "Spank Me" fans, keep in mind, I always post the articles a few weeks prior to press time, so if you want 'em sooner, check in regularly for updates.

Long before I ever hit the comedy stages, I was a drummer. ( I still am!) I played in several bands, most notably, Broken Clown, Colepitz, and Ku-Da-Tah. Broken Clown was definitely my love, and my work with them is what I'm most proud of. I played with them for five years,and loved it. Before I left, we were in the process of recording our second album, it was following our first EP, Buy Guns, Eat Meat, Wear Fur, which was well received, and sold well. The newest one, we took our time on, and spent way too much money on, but the results met our standards. I encourage you to listen. You can do that by hitting http://www.mp3.com/brokenclown.

I also play with several other musicians, in a variety of styles and settings, and have vast studio and stage experience. It's hard to envision my life with out drums. It's just in me.

I also freelance as a studio drum technician, servicing drums, tuning them, and prepare them for recording. I have a long list of references, and you can obtain my services by sending an email to me.

I’m a real simple guy, with simple pleasures, and this seems like the longest personals ad ever written. Screw this. I like steak, I love to eat, period. I don’t watch much TV, but when I do, it’s most likely Seinfeld or Howard Stern. Somehow I’ve become attracted to the women who take their shirts off on Stern’s show, only to have their boobs blurred out. It’s something I look forward to, as if the network is going to accidentally forget to blur them out. They never forget.

Oh yeah, girls...email pictures of your boobies to shane@shanekinney.com

Thanks, I hope you enjoy my site, and feel free to email me with your thoughts!
