About Me

Lead singer and bass player of seminal 00's hard rocking cover band, The Tonedefs. The Tonedefs were an awesome band who really could have made the big time, unfortunately we split up due to musical similarities and now I'm basically a solo artist, doing the occasional smaller gig here and there where I can really get back in touch with the people. No more stadium rock with the crowd not even close enough to spit at me any more. Now you might catch me at Flinders St Station, or Chapel St outside Coles, or running away from the cops in Bourke St. Don't ask for autographs.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Hot Town, Summer In The City

Bloody hell. How am I supposed to rock when it's too bloody hot? If I even think of putting on my leathers at the moment I start sweating like a Frenchman.You can't rock in board shorts and a t-shirt....
