Stumble.. Kopraonu.. Can't Forget You..

About Me

We started off with a bass, a guitar and drums, but that's expanded to; acoustic, electric, percussion and our latest addition, John on bass. Sometimes we just play with two guitars, there's something nice about the simplicity of that. We dig Nada Surf, Kings of Convenience, plus tons of other bands, and also music made by friends of ours. Other stuff we like (in no particular order), are guitars that stay in tune and sound good, Viz comic, The Far Side, The Jerky Boys & The Holy Outlaws, William T. Hicks, Roald Dahl & Quentin Blake, Peter Kay, the people of Royston Vasey and of course playing music.Kopraonu has been our first release; it appeared on a festival compilation CD in Norway during last summer. We are currently being like ducks and that makes a nice change!Morevideographic action: the short film you can see below is called No Fly Zone and it was made by Ruadhrí Brennan. It features a song of ours at the very start, so feel free to check it out and let us know what you think. Also, there's usually a song or two more to be found on our website, www.hutsonstilts.com.

Slow net

On the train

Am on the train as I write, leaving Dublin after work (which went well today). There is a woman sitting opposite me with her daughter, and for some reason I was convinced all she wanted was to have a ...

Watching tv

Watching an incredible tv program about very overweight people, its scary. Despite this, I've just had a bit of chocolate cake (heated of course) and a slice of ice cream. Make of that what you will. ...

hair metal stigma

It sounds like a painful disease but is infact the reason why Kurt Cobain covered over the word 'Marshall' on his amps when he played live (funny, and apparently true). Speaking of which, we're bringi...

ProTools

ProTools, ProTools. Ground loops. Electric fences. Dogs barking outside the window but they're happy so why shout at them? Fly goes past the microphone with not a care in the world either. At times I ...
