The Promiscuous Percussionist.....wanna jam?

About Me

Music of red, yellow, pink and green. I've been playin tunes all my years...In the begining there were only Ivory keys, somewhere in the early middle time came guitars and the discovery of voice, shortly followed by drums, not so portable. Took to hand percussion a coupla years ago along side a DJ mate and people bloody loved it so I've been collecting and putting to use all sorts of noise makers for your listening pleasure and my creative enhancement!I am a full time member of a few bands – Lounge Act with my brother and a few friends; we are pretty much a jam band who have been playing together on and off for years now who have recently acquired a new direction and a semi serious approach.Then there is Feick’s Device which is about 2 months young, 2 pieces thus far being Ixe and me (Sept ’07) and showing great promise with a surprisingly full sound and diverse repertoire of twisted, ethereal folk songs.Next and also fresher than the average tomato is a project that still seeks a name! We are a semi-live dance crew with DJ Dogeater spinning vinyl, Alisa Fedele’s funky vox, Emile Norish Horn Freak and meself bustin' beats. Beware, we are about to hit some serious club action around town.I have been lucky enough to work with and continue to work with some brilliant solo artists including Mitch Butler, Dani Carr, Genevieve Little, Ben Roberts, Brett O’Malley, Sam Buckingham, Ben Fletcher, Alisa Fedele and there are more works underway with Dan Granero and Chontia.I have a very diverse taste in music and so I must play with many different people!If you have a musical project of some description and you think I might be able to help, hit me up....and come say g’day at a gig some time!

My latest favourites are Plastic Palace Alice and this other band I heard briefly on the air waves the other day were wicked but I missed their name....hate it when that happens.

Movies:

Not big on films. My fav at the moment would have to be Borat because I can relate to his sick arse on so many levels! The Castle and Forest Gump would have to be my fav of all time. Oh but hang on, I can't forget Duece Biggalo. The chick with Tourettes when she goes 'ass ass ass ass ass BALL LICKER! and then makes the licking face...thats piss funny. And the way his pimp calls him a man whore and to keep his mangina clean. Funny shit that is!

Television:

NCIS & South Park but I never get to watch them because there simply are not enough hours in the day.

Books:

Dude Where's My Country - Michael Moore

Heroes:

My children have helped me see life in a different light. I have as many musical heroes as I do fav bands! Baterz, Gwen Steffani, Stuart Copeland, Dave Grohl, and Neil and Tim Finn top the list. David Byrne writes the best songs ever.
