'''Phillip Hardy''' Born ([[May 27 1956]]), Manhassett, New York: '''Phillip Hardy''' is a writer and musician that has played drums for '''Joe Houston''', '''Guitar Shorty''', '''The Lively Ones''' and '''Walter Egan'''; working with bands that opened concerts in Los Angeles for new wave band '''The Motels''' and alternative country rockers '''Rank and File'''. Phillip began his drumming career in the mid 1970’s occasionally filling in as substitute drummer for seminal LA punk band '''The Weasels''', as well as jamming and recording with musicians including '''Dean Chamberlain''', '''The Skulls''' and '''Marvin Etzioni''' of '''Lone Justice''' fame. During the 1980’s he twice worked with '''Asylum Kids''' bassist and vocalist '''Dino Archon''' in bands named '''DV8''' and '''Symbol Positive''' playing at '''Club Lingerie''', '''Madame Wongs''', and the '''Troubadour''' and on the '''KROQ Radio''' stage at the 1984 '''LA Street Scene'''. At a 1984 recording session in Playa Del Rey California, Phillip was invited by bassist '''Ralph Carter''' to audition for '''Eddie Money's''' touring band. During the early 1990's, he fronted his own band '''Badge of Honor''' playing numerous live shows and had original songs featured on '''KLOS Radio's''' '''''Best of Local Licks''''' show. In two 1994 '''Music Connection Magazine''' reviews, Hardy’s unique vocal style was compared to '''Harry Chapin''' and his drumming was described as “As precise as the tick-tock of Big Ben and rocks like a run away renegade.” Phillip was awarded a Bachelor of Science in Business Management in 2001 and a Master of Management from the '''University of Redlands''' in 2003. Later that year, his album '''''Old Dog, New Tricks''''' was released and received positive reviews from publications including '''Fufkin Magazine''', '''Ripping Tracks''' and '''IOM Magazine'''. He currently contributes features and reviews for '''Sound The Sirens''' online magazine where his review of the film '''''Capote''''' was recently published in addition to music reviews of '''Robert Cray''', '''Richard Thompson''' and '''Brian Setzer'''. His novel '''''Vengeance Is Mine, the Story of the Hatfields and McCoys''''' was entered into the '''Kentucky Historical Library''' in 1997; and has since been renamed and published on demand in May 2006 under the title '''''Kingdom the Hollow, The Story of the Hatfields and McCoys.''''' On September 3, 2006 Phillip joined '''The Lively Ones''' playing drums and singing lead vocals for a concert at the '''Orange International Street Fair'''. In addition to a selection of surf music and classic rock, the group performed their hit song ''"Surf Rider"'' from the '''Pulp Fiction Original Motion Picture Soundtrack'''.
