About Me

My name is Geoff. I play electric and upright bass with my two main bands The Voodoo Kreepers and The Recliner Rockers. Occasionally the very tallented Donald Reid lets me do the odd gig too :) I also work as a graphic artist for a couple of magazines including NZ Musician. I'm into all sorts of music from jazz, country, ska, reggae, funk, metal to punk and pretty much everything else - but have a real love for rockabilly. My main influences would be Lee Rocker, Mark Winchester, Dom Lindus, Victor Wooten (the best bass soloist ever to walk this earth), James Jamerson, Bootsy Collins and Sir Paul McCartny. Some of my recent musical highlights would be: support gig for Slim Jim Phantom, support gigs for Simple Minds, recording and filming the video with Donald Reid (you can see it on his link below), meeting Victor Wooten, Mike Stern and Dennis Chambers after an amazing jazz gig in LA, seeing Brian Setzer live in Hollywood, and all the recent rockabilly gigs with the Aussie bands... did I mention meeting Victor Wooten? :) ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- ___________________Those were the days :)________________ _________________________ Me, first thing in the morning.
