He has published two books under additional creative monikers—“Believe: By RKFDNews” (Life Artners Publishing, 2014), and “I Mash Potatoes of My Face, What You Do Today?” (Life Artners Publishing, 2015)—whcih are available via Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or through this site (as supplies last). DeCastris also records and publishes songs for online distribution under various names: Donkey Boy USA (1996 – 2011) and Silent Kit (2011-Present). He resides and produces work from within a violent northern Illinois region called Rockford. Mr. Dave is safely surrounded by a wife, son, and pit bull.
