The music business is a cruel and shallow trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run

About Me

... erm... I will get my arse into gear and write something but I'm having a creatively sterile (shy) moment...

but

I like making people smile and I’m really passionate about new music and love searching for the new, interesting and beautiful.



My Interests

Live music, small venues, proper pubs, dancing drunkenly, dancing myself sober, dancing to my own tune, dancing with your mother badly…

Physical Theatre (ParaActive – you kill me), dance, skaters, red wine, dark chocolate, laughing and making sure I get a smile out of everyone I meet.

I'd like to meet:

The people on my page are either friends, gig buddies, bands I see regularly and people and organisations I admire and support...

If you want to add me as a friend then message me with good reason as I’m all up for talking to new people but if you want me to just make up your numbers then I’m not there...

If you’re a band then add me but give me a chance to listen to your stuff because if you’ve taken the time to look at my page then I’ll take the time to listen to your music and if I like you there’s a good chance you’ll see me bouncing away at one of your gigs pretty soon…

Music:

I’m really into going out and supporting unsigned bands, which is the main reason I have this profile...

In my top 8 you’ll always see the bands that I plan to see next or bands I support because I like their style and because they’re genuine people… other than that I’m strangely eclectic but don’t expect me to explain myself…

Although I love...

Pixies, The Charlatans, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The White Stripes, The Strokes, Kasabian, Belle & Sebastian, Bowie, Graham Coxon, Brendan Benson, Blondie, The Cure, Jimi Hendrix, Delays, The Hives and basically anything I believe and anything that makes me want to dance...

Movies:

Fight Club, Nikita, Bladerunner, Amores Perros, The Apartment, The Empire Strikes Back, Near Dark, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Dog Day Afternoon, The Usual Suspects, Donnie Darko, Taxi Driver, Audition, Cinema Paradiso, The Princess Bride, American Beauty, Badlands, The Shawshank Redemption, Raising Arizona, Breakfast At Tiffany’s, The Red Shoes, Being John Malkovich, The Grifters...

Television:

The pretty moving light that helps me fall asleep.

Books:

Anything and everything... Classics, Trash, Biographies...

But favourites include Coelho, Copeland, Ellroy, Banks, Palahnuik, Murakami, Lila Says, The Unbearable Lightness of Being… stuff?

Recommendations are always welcomed...

Heroes:

Are you kidding me?
