About Me

..
- -

I am Coon aka Daniel Spacey, a musician and creative entity who ended up on this planet we call Earth...
My Sonic Adventure started over a decade ago with my first band Tommyknockers (s.c.o)... I did the singer/guitarist/songwriter-part in that band! After i split from that, i kept busy with this arrogant solo-project known as Coon hah! I've recorded three albums all by myself, performing all instruments... Nice to do but never again thank you hah:-)
Not so long ago i was in up-n-coming band Soma... I played guitar in that band for about a year, but i decided it wasn't for me anymore and so i had to part ways after some great memorable moments and learning-experiences...
this is the video for "Art will save the world", a song from this ex-band Soma... It features the amazing Lize Accoe on guestvocals! And the somewhat less amazing me on guitars :-D Basically, the videoclip was put together by singer Frank Mielants and bassist Pieter Van Alphen... They did a great job! I wasn't in any of the scenes but my car, the Audi 100, was!!! :-) Also we were blessed with the presence of actor Dirk Van Dijck who performed the lead-role of the securityguard... enjoy!
Also during the last 8 years, i abused the drumkit in a band called No Fancy Car... We've done quite a lot together and always have been best of friends but the time is nigh for me to leave... I'll always love and miss making music with those guys...
FREAKYPSYCHOROCK! :-D
But now i'm in an extraterrestrial threepiece-band and we're planning an invasion... The band is rehearsing a lot a lot a lot and we're developing our sounds, getting as tight as humanly possible;-) We already got a very intense set ranging musically from the mellow psychedelic soundscapes to very agressive crushing metal-like riffs... My band's devoted to spreading the ultimate soundwaves!
SEE YA IN FRONT OF THE STAGE PEOPLES!!!
PLANET EARTH + LOCATED INHABITANTS.......
I can also be entirely impressed by a good movie!
I admit I am a filmfreak:-)
I worship all M. Night Shyamalan-films
as well as all of Darren Aronofski's work!
All of their movies are masterpieces!!!

and I put my mind at ease by watching some Australian soap-opera-action in "Home And Away"...

Dark Angel

I piss on shows like MTV's "Making The Band" or "Cribs" or "How Do I Look Like My Favorite Hollywood Celeb" or any other garbage like that ...why the fuck am I sharing this with you? Do you care? Well, too late now, you cannot unread this shit... Go do something productive for your planet, or check out some of my friend's myspaces ;-D Oh and watch any Michael Moore-documentary (The Big One, Bowling For Columbine, Farhenheit 9/11, Sicko, ...) That'll keep you on your tows!
Cheerzz!
