About Me

I do the occasional spot of work as a freelance journalist (well i did, before the weight of the world crushed my spirit...i mean i got sick of interviewing dull people and making bad music sound good. But hey, if you actually want to pay me i will get my incredible chops back up again.), but mostly I play music in the bands The Sky Falling, Starstream and various other assorted concepts of space and sound.

the sky falling

starstream

Also, check out my record label and gig/touring/promotion collecctive Darkland Recordingscheck out the Darkland Recordings page for all the latest news on the double album i have compiled, Burn Your Fingers On The Sun, a collection of recorded works by some of Australia's best underground bands. (volume II?)

i have also performed live with Silvertone and Alex Jarvis.
