Obviously music is a huge passion of mine as it's what I've based my career on, however being on the road nearly all year tends to jade me a bit. My main interest outside of music is movies. I'm a complete and total movie buff! Anything Tim Burton, Tarrantino, horror, comedies... you name it! I love hockey (GO FLYERS!!!). I enjoy cooking (but not cleaning), hanging at the local Irish Pub, sitting down with a cup of cappuccino and reading my Empire magazine, Lush, Lush, Lush, shopping at Lush.... and Lush. I'm very much into body art. I'm working on both sleeves, although the right arm is soon to be finished. I also have the majority of my legs done, a full back piece, and a lizard around my navel. 18 piercings as well, although where they are will remain a mystery... unless you ask. My new obsession is with faeries and goblins. I'm working on a sleeve dedicated to Brian Froud's work, as well as some fantasy work done by Samuli from Finntroll. There's also a small tribute to Mr. Jack Skellington and Miss Sally on my forearm to coincide with the fantasy theme.
I'd like to meet:
I've had the extreme pleasure of meeting several of the people I had always wanted to meet. The music world is covered, as I think if I were to meet any of my remaining musical heros, it would surely jade me to the point of no return. There's a few literary and artistic heroes whose brains I wouldn't mind picking and I'm obsessed with the movie world . So with that in mind, I would love to have a lunch date with each of the following: Gary Oldman, Johnny Depp, Napolean Dynamite (the character, not the actor. He's flippin' sweet!) , Tim Burton, Brian and Wendy Froud, Christofer Golden, Poppy Z. Brite, Conan O'Brien, Howard Stern, Dr. McDreamy (the character, not the actor), Desmond Harrington, Skeet Ulrich, Johnny Depp, the entire cast and crew of The Empire Strikes Back (you know, it's a little know fact that Cliff Claven, aka, John Ratzenburger is in that film),General Zod, so I could kneel before him... not that way, you freakin' perverts..Kevin Smith, Johnny Depp, Edward Norton, Quentin Tarrentino, Adam Sandler, Winona Ryder, Drew Barrymore, Rosario Dawson, did I mention Johnny Depp? The man's a genius.. and he's fairly easy on the eyes, know what I'm saying? So if you are any of the above named, feel free to drop me a line... and if you're not... well, give it a go anyway.NOTE: Due to the overwhelming band requests that I get, I will no longer be accepting bands that I don't know. If you're interested in booking, management, or anything business related, please feel free to send me a mail via here. Alternatively, I am happy to add bands to my comany's myspace page. Please visit the I'm With the Band My Space page, or visit our website at www.imwitheband.com for any business related queries. Also, if you're TRUELY interested in being my "friend" and I don't already know you, please drop me a quick mail introducing yourself. Thanks!
