Pre-Cky
Foreign Objects
Jess Margera- Drums/subliminal messages
James Murphy- Guitar
Foreign Objects was Deron's and Jess's first major project which turned into a Demo cd (Undiscovered Numbers and Colors) which only had 1,000 copies made and distributed by the band members and by close friends. Deron decided it was neccessary to finish their project a few years ago and release Universal Culture shock along with their original demo, which is available on amazon.com.
Rudy + Blitz
Rudy and Blitz is a band formed by Chad Ginsburg and Dante Cimino sometime in the early nineties, around the Philidelphia area. So Chad didn't have to sing, Dante recruited David Kloos to play bass and vocals. Rudy and Blitz was signed to Ruffhouse/Columbia, who dropped them due to personal conflicts between the band and the record label. So then Chad got the record back in his possesion, intending on shopping it around to other labels, but the band broke up due to Kloos disapearing off the face of the earth with a ''yokel and a 6 pack.''Rudy and Blitz played a few shows in and around Philly, and were seen on local public access channels.
Since the band has split, they have all gone on to pursue different projects. Guitarist and producer, Chad Ginsburg, is now part of CKY. Dante Cimino plays drums in a band called Custom Deluxe (with Kloos on bass, no vocals), a project with Kloos called "Three", and if I'm not mistakin, Dante also plays drums in a band called Laguardia.

OiL
Oil was a band formed out of the members of Foreign Objects including Jess Margera, Deron Miller, and Ryan Bruni. It was formed to be a more "digestible" form of Foreign Objects. They recorded a demo now known as The Gold Tape in 1996, which they pitched to Roadrunner Records. Regrettably the demo was not any good, and the band recognized Oil is a failed attempt to sell out. So Oil disbanded and eventually turned into CKY.
