  1. Biography 03/20/07: He's the rocker's rocker--the symbol of '80s punk rock, with flashy clothes and a mohawk to match. MTV helped him explode onto the music scene with his hugely popular videos for "White Wedding" and "Dancing with Myself," and he's remained a cult favorite ever since as evidenced by his striking cameo appearance in the 1998 comedy “The Wedding Singer”. Today he continues to tour in front of sold out audiences in both the US and UK and is working on a new album to be released in the spring of 2008.
