His personal myspace page says..."i play in rock bands. i go for lots
of walks. i like finding stuff in the garbage. i book a club. i don't
like to answer the phone. my first pet was a turtle named fluffy." The
band's myspace page is pretty empty.
The blogger for "How Was The Show" mentioned Chris last January as
hipping him to some other band.
That's as much research as I have time for right now about the town I
was born in so long ago....

Hi Michael,
All I know is I have not noticed him playing around the Minneapolis area
in a very long time. Nor have I read anything in terms of releases.
I searched his name under the citypages.com (our local newspaper) and
the last entry was from 2005! Thus, this even may be old news....
BEST CONCERT VENUE - 2005
Long a hidden clubhouse for down-and-out boozehounds, Thin Lizzy cover
bands, and country-western hobbyists, this little saloon ain't just for
trucks anymore. We've got Chris Dorn, frontman for sporadically active
popsters the Beatifics, to thank for the transmutation. Last September,
Dorn took over booking duties for the Hex's modest stage, and he
immediately opened the bar's rusty doors to the bright, sunshiny world
of local music--indie rock and pop, to be more precise, with a
smattering of the Americana and bluesy stuff that befits the place's
proudly lingering dusty gin-joint vibe. As the bar's calendar began to
fill up, so too did its barstools, and the Hex quickly became the Seward
hotspot. "I like to favor bands from the neighborhood," Dorn says,
"because live local music is as much a social activity as it is an
exercise in artistic fulfillment." True enough. Perhaps that's why
there's a wall separating the old bar, with its long-in-the-tooth
regulars, from the youn!
ger throngs crowding around the stage or, during DJ Jake Rudh's
Wednesday night "Transmission" sets, dancing around the tables. If this
keeps up, the Hex just might have to make more room for all those
incoming hipsters. The Dodecahedron Bar, anyone?
