About Me


"Simplicity is the key" Everett True said that when asked about the face of the alternative scene...
In current times, when it is deemed conventionally cool to wear a Ramones T-shirt and jeans come pre-ripped from Top Man, it is difficult to esstablish the silver lining between alternative and fasionable...
The same trend is apprent in todays music scene. In my humble opinion, it is the sound and only the sound.
The raw passion that spills out into an eruption of noise and rhythm that creates a contradictory emotion, being you want to trash your flat and kiss your lover in the same breath. The music you digest that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up, and makes your render, "I wish I wrote that...!"
I love music that makes you think, thats different, thats interesting, thats controversial, thats brave, and last, but nowhere near least, thats talented...
The music I play is alternative, yet popular, the music that the NME crowd would deem "Now", yet with a left field slant on the unsung yet brilliant artists that provide the necessary tool for new music... which is Influence...
I pride myself on trying to play tracks and re-mixes from the talented unsigned acts from all over the country, of which there are many...
The Indie scene is ever expanding in our humble city and, from the musical perspective, that has "good" written all over it.
With a combination of alternative, indie, rock, electro, and grunge I provide a night that will make you want to dance to the sounds that you once held responsible for your existence...
Peace, Love, Empathy... DQ...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/12/2007
Band Members: DQ...
Influences: Influences is the hardest question to answer. I could sit here and resite thousands of bands, but I won't... Instead I will make it very simple.

Imagine a square... In the top left corner you have left field pioneering music from the likes of
Pixies,
Nirvana,
The Melvins,
The Meat Puppets,
Pink Floyd,
Led Zeppelin,
K's Choice
, and
Sonic Youth...

In the top right corner you have NME friendly "cool" music from the likes of
The Killers,
Bloc Party,
We are Scientists,
Kings of Leon,
Jet,
Arctic Monkeys,
Franz Ferdinand
, and
Dirty Pretty Things

In the bottom left corner you have synth orientated beats and alternate indie from the likes of
Union of Knives,
White Rose Movement,
Placebo,
Smashing Pumpkins,
The Klaxons
, and
Thom Yorke

In the bottom right corner you have Indie and Rock classics from the likes of
Oasis,
Radiohead,
David Bowie,
The Rolling Stones,
Blur,
The Clash
and
The Smiths.

Then imagine me in the centre of that box mixing it all together...

Below is an image of what I think is the greatest album of all time and is personally the sound track to my life. It's Jeff Buckley's "Grace"...
