Rock n fuckin' Roll

About Me

Soooo, here goes.I live in London - cool place apart from being a touch expensive so making getting hammered a bit hard occasionally due to lack of funds and the weather can be a bit crap too.I play drums in a London band - DrugdealerCheerleader. I've been playing since I was about 14 and have been lucky enough, in my music career so far to have supported some of my idols and major influences - Mike Monroe, Tyla, Enuff Z Nuff, Joe Leste & Bang Tango to name a few.fair to say i live for music. My fave bands include U2, Hanoi Rocks, Motley Crue, AC/DC, Dogs D'Amour, Marilyn Manson, G'n'R, Bowie, New York Dolls. To be honest I'm a fan of bands with great songs who put on great shows. Loved the whole 80's hair metal thang - and no I'm not afraid to call it hair metal either cos that's what it was.Not a big Internet forum poster but I love everything about MetalSludge.tv, the Popbitch newsletter and website and the Holy Moly newsletter. As far as I'm concerned if you sign up to being famous AND court the media to help you, you've got to be big enough to take the consequences of your actions.

Say and do what you have said you will

First gig of our tour is over and it was good and bad. The show was in Whitehaven and well put together, but sadly a few individuals will always manage to fuck things up for everybody else.  Now,...
