Spider One

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spider One (born Michael David Cummings on August 25, 1968 in Haverhill, Massachusetts, U.S.A.) is a musician; the lead singer of the Boston-based heavy metal band Powerman 5000; and owner of Megatronic Records. In 1990 he dropped out of art school and bought a cheap 4-track home studio and drum machine. Working under the title "MC Spider" he gained local success and in 1991 he built Powerman 5000 and took up the name "Spider." Although best known as Spider or Spider One, he is also mistakenly called "Spider Zombie" (due to the fact that he is the younger brother of heavy metal artist Rob Zombie) and "Spyder". While his brother Zombie places much of the focus of his music on classic horror films, Spider incorporates early Science Fiction (i.e. Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, etc.) and Kung-Fu imagery into his work.
