I am here for Friends

About Me

I make art. My spelling is ok but may need correcting. I love music, all kinds, from classical to Death metal. I love Organic food and like to take care of my self. I have a girl freind. I do Tai Chi and chi gung. I love being alive.I play drums and write song melody's and lyrics/poems. Sometimes I overload myself and stay up late doing art.My art practice has many arms. Unfortunately I only have two! If any one would like to help me by offering their arms, we could save the world, or do something very constructive. Sometimes I make more commercial art or design, sometimes art and banners for protest marches or causes, sometimes fine art, sculpture, instillation, painting etc etc...sometimes street performance.I support my self by selling my art by regularly exhibiting and by teaching art for three hours a week. Two hours at Artstation and one hour at the Auckland Hospitals Oncology Ward.Next up dear reader is a work in progress overview of my bandology.I play the drums and have been in bands since I was 14. This first band was called Acid Reign (1984) I sang and played drums on a cake tin, with friends who were all called Andrew. It was Anarco pacifist punk, we recorded on a tape recorder I borrowed from my grandma. We where influenced by Crass, Flux Poison Girls, Dirt, Zounds Stiff Little Fingers, etc, We soon sort of learnt how to play our instruments and I managed to swap a box of 2000AD comics for a drum kit. We recorded a demo. We also published a Zine called "Second Dark Age". This version of the band splintered and Me and Juve (Andrew) began a new band called Avil Retards after I got back from England when I was 15. I visited Crass at their London headquarters, they where quite secretive about its location. It was a 3 or for storied building with a recording studio on the top floor I think but I bought records of them. I visited as many record stores as possible in the UK and scored a lot of records and tried to hook up with Anarchists etc. I just missed seeing Chumbawamba in Bristol, but went to a Squatters conference which was really well organised. Downstairs there was an electronics workshop on how to connect power to your squat etc, occasionally the power would blow as discussions and video were being played upstairs. When I got back to New Zealand, American styled Hardcore had arrived and bands like Bad Brains, Toxic Reasons, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Butthole Surfers etc did influence Avil Retards. We covered Black Flag and Buttholes. Whilst our presence in Wellington influenced Shihad a little. There was a lively punk scene and gigged with Microwave Babys Spectrum Is Grey, T.A.B. Nazgul (ex Compis Mentis) etc. We also toured to Grey Mouth. The last thing we did as a band was record a demo for an album Jerald Dwyer was producing called "The Harder the Edge the Rocker the Roll Vol II". Avil Retards ended in 1987 when I moved to Auckland to go to Elam Art School. This was a bummer as we where really getting it together. I moved to Auckland and naturally hooked up with the punk/hardcore/speed metal and art community's. I went to a lot gigs and made art. I started drumming in a funk weird band called Tractor. This disintegrated and the core of the band created Tractator which was heavy funk with lead breaks and insane vocals that talked about abstract truths and cosmic experience. I was approached by a band called Phobia and I auditioned to be their vocalist. They where very good and had very long hair and slayer t shirts. I brought a more hardcoe edge to their band. We soon had a set of speedmetal hits and we played our first shoe at the Trade Union Center on Gt North Rd. We giged regularly and played with a lot of local bands, Bygone Era, The Warners, Ultimate etc. Tractator was still going but soon fell apart. Jeremy and I met Sinton who was a very good lead guitarist. Itch was born (1992?), and Dylan sang who was a maniac. We played our first show at the Glue Pot where Dylan lost his voice and also some how his pants. But this band too disbanded as I met Paul Lack and Sarah Dunn (1994) and we started jamming. In my studio space in the old Masonic Lodge at 30 Customs St East. Across the road from Show Girls. We called ourselves Fanta Baby and had some cool songs, but there where some drug issues and the band stopped. When these issue got resolved we got it going again and Bruce Fowler joined on lead guitar. Soon we recorded a self titled album of 9 songs. We also made a video that got a lot of air play on Triangle TV. Fanta Baby lasted for about 9 years.... I have played a couple of gigs since then in a Jazz fusion band and with Anthony Pasco playing as The Not Too Lates. I have written quite a lot of songs which I sing into a Dictaphone and then transcribe the words. Sometimes I wake up with a melody and words playing over in my mind. I can't play the guitar, this makes it a little tricky to play them. I have made two unfinished songs and put them on Myspace, called Sweet As. This page also has a track that Josh Folley helped me produce about 4 years ago called "I Used To Be So Much More Fun". Which I apparently was. I think this was because I used to drink alcohol regularly and smoke pot etc. So I could have called the song "I Used To Get So Much More Pissed."ART...
