About Me

Guitarist/songwriter of metal band FREAKSHOW Guitarist of Kylie Minogue tribute band DANNI'S SISTER Guitarist/Keys/Songwriter of rock band DRINK Lead guitarist for MICHAEL KOFOED Guitarist for DIGITAL PLAYERZ(MadA)I took up guitar at the age of 14,studied classical guitar at 16 and was teaching students soon after.Also studying piano to further my musical knowledge.At 16 I was regularly gigging in "Wheels of fire"(a 60's, 70's rock cover band) which featured Michael Harold from Drink.At 18,Freakshow was born which started out under the moniker "Highway 69" playing mostly funk rock ala Extreme,Badlands,Love/Hate etc.After discovering bands like Pantera,Soundgarden and Alice in Chains our sound hardened and the name changed to Freakshow.A CD was launched and extensive gigging around Melbourne,Espy,Palace,Chasers,Hell.The Kylie tribute resulted from a joke at a rehearsal of the band Crooked,and before you know it,DANNI'S SISTER was playing to rave reactions at Midsumma festival,3 Faces and Twister. Then comes DRINK...after writing with Daniel Rink for 20 yrs(we started our first band at 14yo called Infinity) we finally got serious and produced 2 cd's,Time and Change and are currently working on a new one.Also laying tracks down for Michael Kofoed and madA,also doing TV jingles,short film soundtracks and the occasional session work. Now currently playing lead guitar for FUNHOUSE(Australian PINK tribute band). Contact Tables
