The following is a testimonial from really respected musical critic in a really famous magazine... somewhere in China... inside a volcano... naked.
"THREE YEARS AGO AN EXPLOSIVE REVOLUTION OF MUSIC HAPPENED IN A SHCOOLKID'S BEDROOM. JUST AS JOHN LENNON LEARNED THE BANJO, MOZART TOOK PIANO LESSONS AND KURT COBAIN SMOKED DOPE, JACK CAHILL, AT AGE 14 WAS INTRODUCED TO THE DELTA BLUES. EVER SINCE THAT DAY, JACK HAS MADE IT HIS MISSION IN LIFE TO PLAY MUSIC FROM HIS SOUL, AND TO ONE DAY SHARE HIS MUSICAL PLATFORM WITH THE WORLD."
G'day to everyone out there in cyberspace! My name's Jack and I play the blues. To some (well most), my raw vocals and chaotic guitar lines can come across as unpolished and crude, but that can mostly be blamed on the little guy in my mouth that smokes all my cigerettes.
I sing, play guitar, harmonica, piano and keys, and have been writing songs since I first picked up a guitar (thanks Jason). Most of my songs have a rambling, gypsy-blues feel to them although my music is influenced not only by American and British artists, but also Eastern music and The Smurfs.
My band; Van-Matic, are currently working on our style and gigging around Melbourne. We are a primal blues/rock trio with electric origins and a fresh sound. Check us out at http://www.myspace.com/vanmatic.
In my opinion, true music is the expression of your deepest and most terrifying emotions through your voice and your instruments. It doesn’t follow scales or rules, it isn’t planned and it isn’t thought about, (unless Festigo the knome writes them for me). I hope you like what I reach through my art.
Also, I am an avid microsoft painter, so please comment on my experimental "Paint" pieces you will find under "pics". They are very straight forward and don't need explaining, but if you want any further information on them, feel free to read my blog about them.
Also also, through the miricale of the wee sprites inside my screen, you can send a bunch of words to me through "E-MAIL". My "E-MAIL" adress is as follows: [email protected]. Send me something, as I have nothing better to do than read a long, tedious email about how much I suck.
Peace.
Jaximus Maximus Maridius: Husband of a murdered Wife, Father of a murdered Son, and I will have my Vengence, in this life or the next.
