About Me

Hmm...Well here we are again. MySpace. Never thought I'd see myself on here, but I thought I'd come check out what you kids are up to.Plus, this is kind of a cool creative outlet. I am that lamest of lame ducks, a bandless singer. I have all these half-formed ideas in my head that are driving me a little insane. So I thought to myself that I could be my own band! I'm busy in the midst of the tortuous process of writing music solely with my voice and some percussion samples. Please, please do leave comments about what music I post here. Good or bad. I'm here to talk and learn and listen. So come one, come all. As a wise man once said "The earth is my whorehouse."Oh, and before I forget, if anyone wants to collaborate or jam, send me a message to my MySpace inbox and I'll get in touch.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/10/2007
Band Members: Me, my computer, my microphone and some percussion samples. A merry wee bunch really.
Influences: Singers mainly. In no particular order (ie, as I think of them): Mike Patton, Tom Waits, Mark Lanegan, Serj Tankian, Bjork, Chino Moreno, Thom Yorke, Maynard James Keenan, Josh Homme, David Bowie, Chris Cornell, Nick Cave, Layne Staley, Jeff Buckley. These aren't necessarily my only influences, or the only artists I enjoy, just the ones who've had the most impact on my singing style (or lack thereof).
Sounds Like: Bjork's album Medulla perhaps? That's the only thing I can think of. Oh, and perhaps Thom Yorke's 'The Eraser'.
Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: None

Is this thing on?

Hi all (not that I can presume anyone even looks at this shit). I am currently working on a track called 'Dangle, Shuck and Jive'. It's just a short ditty, not even two minutes long, but I plan to put...

Big Day Out 2007

Here goes...My Big Day Out '07 started off in fairly mediocre fashion with.... Sinate. Shitty New Zealand metal band. They can fuck right off. After their atrocious boganfest, I went to the Boiler Roo...
