About Me

Natty Bedhead... freak show or cunning musical mastermind? You decide...You may have seen his antics around town (if your town is Regina) and you may have shared a sandwich with him (if you like pb&j) but most likely you'll know him as the crazy arse cymbal punching madman who's worked with the likes of the nancy ray-guns, the Greyscale, Gary Ray and the Soo Line, The Joelle Fuller Band, Chad Kichula, Eekwol, Kinnie Starr, Dave Lang, and frankly after that it's just better to stop talking about it. You've either taken drum lessons from him, jammed with him, listened to him rant incessantly about drums, politics, women or the politics of women, or you may have danced to his irresistible groove. Yup this kid is on the move and he likes to rock and roll so catch him on the road before they lock him up in the rubber room... it's bound to happen soon. Wanna meet me? Come to the 13th avenue coffee house... I practically live there.Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds
