Name: Brian Bugenhagen
Role: Guitar / Vocals
Nicknames: Captain Kickass, Boogie

Brian is a Wisconsin native or a “Cheese head” if you wanna be a dick about it. One of his nicknames, “Captain Kickass” was actually intended to be an insult from a friend of his a long time ago. Brian knocked over a beer that was sitting on the coffee table and his friend said, “Well - way to go there “Captain Kickass”” and the rest is history. He plays some pretty good, heavy guitar riffs and is the founding member of Pure Hatred. He’s a pretty funny guy and everyone in the bands reluctantly laughs at his frequently lame and dry sense of humor. One day, brian went to www.satan.com to see what was there, and ironically clicked on a link to become an ordained minister. Minutes later, he received an email anointing “Captain Kickass” an officially ordained minister. Weird huh?
