About Me


Sometimes I leave the house, sometimes I don't. Sometimes, my best shot at making a day brighter is to switch the lamp on the bedside table on.Sometimes, I pack my bags on the spur of a moment to tour Europe. Sometimes I wonder if my heart is bleeding and if I'd notice if it was.Sometimes, I realize I'm a drama queen.Sometimes, I take great comfort in being a drama queen. I never learned how to sing and I never had guitar lessons.Sometimes, I think it shows, but sometimes I think it's one of my finest qualities.I'm so scared to get up on a stage I considered becoming an accountant, but I suck at maths.Sometimes I wonder if my reality is anything like yours.I smoke too many cigarettes and love the voices inside my head.I love the wind in my hair and the rain soaking my clothes.I love staring out of windows and into drinks dejectedly.I think I'd love dancing if I ever tried it.Sometimes I think we're all full of shit.Sometimes, I can appreciate the beauty in that.Sometimes it's great to know that we're all human after all.a

My Blog

Purchasing the EP

It's finally here folks. It's pretty, shiny and new, free of plastic wraps and bar codes and it took a long time to make it happen. The artwork is genius if I say so myself (thanks, Basti, you are the...

Lyrics

by popular demand (i.e. my mom asking me what the fuck I am on about on the record). I couldn't afford a proper booklet, so feel free to print them off and stick them in your copy of the EP or write t...

Patience, young fellas, patience

I promise it's all happening, folks. The EP should be here in a couple of weeks, but we all know there's bumps in the road (like the 54th mix of a track where you suddenly hear the click in the back o...

better then sex?

Ok, it's more of a statement then a question, but I'm just listening to the first final mix of the first EP song and damn, I'm glad nobody can see the shitfaced grin on my face. I always wondered what...

Final countdown

I'm probably gonna regret announcing this, but we're nearly there with the EP. The final track will be recorded on Tuesday and then I'll leave the lads to mix it and make it sound right so I can blame...

Recording

If I get any more excited, I’m gonna wet myself, so I thought I might as well share some of my good mood on here before that happens. Three of the planned 5 tracks for the EP are in the bag and,...

Hands up if you hate drum computers

Groah, time for a rant. Let me start off by saying that I do need a drummer. A real living person who gets rhythms wrong so I can shout at them. Cause you know what? It's not half as much fun shouting...

Friend requests

As the question keeps coming up frequently, I thought I might as well write a blog about it. So why did I add you as a friend on myspace? Well, the simple answer to that is: you were there and it's a ...

holiday spirit (sort of)

It's the kind of time in the morning for silly ramblings and pathetic begging rants... no fear, all is well, really. Besides having finished the first bit of recording, I'm also stupidly in love, tryi...

recording

It's been a while, so I thought I'd keep you posted as to why there's no new demos or anything. I'm recording at the moment, properly this time. Dudes, do yourselves and any producer out there a favou...
