Richard Eugene Stotts (born 27 October 1953) (better known as Richie Stotts) is a New York City born musician who began writing and performing in a fledgling 1970s NYC band named “The Numbers”. Richie’s songwriting skills and lead guitar playing experience ultimately led to him becoming one of the founding members of the groundbreaking and inimitable punk rock-punk-metal group, Plasmatics.
In 1978, Richie was among the earliest musicians to sport a Mohawk,
taking inspiration from the Travis Bickle character in the movie Taxi Driver.
