Faceless plugs are great aren't they?
Well as you may have guessed by now, my name's Barakat (yes it's my real name) and I am indeed a member of How About Trout. I play the bass, occasional harmonica, and lead 'vocals' so to speak. I could never call myself a singer. I think of my voice as a mixture between William Shatner and Nick Oliveri (only not half as cool as the latter.... or the first either). A very very shite Screamin' Jay Hawkins mixed with that nutter from Sikth. Maybe even a dash of Claypool. I'd like to think he'd sound like me if he wasn't so nasal and red necked.
I've played and recorded with the lovely Cellar Door, with whom I hope to be jamming and writing with in the very near future.
I also play the occasional gig with Harmonica Lewinski, which is a stark contrast to Trout as I get to stand in the back and be a "real" bassist, lurking in the shadows.
I've also recently been picked up to play in a sexy new band of rather heavy proportions, under the codename of 'Prosperina'. We'll be sure to have some material up and running in the very near future too.
Being a musical slag is great.
I love to record and produce as much as possible in the old abode; whether it be some of my closest mates having a grin (look out for the Supergay Sunshine Tree which should be coming soon!) or one of my many unfinished solo projects.
I hate public transport, as I rely on it everyday. I wish I lived in Japan.
I live for music as the popular cliche goes, and enjoy every aspect of it... whether it be playing it, watching, listening, recording, mixing, analysing, exploring, grooving, miming pathetically, laughing at/with it, or even criticising the hell out of it. It's all good.
I've started almost every single paragraph here with "I".
I hate that.
Have I written enough yet?
I say yes. For now.
And I agree with me.
Please please please check out the band pages if I have intrigued you in any way. And if I haven't intrigued you in any way, still check it out.
What Is Your Battle Cry?
Y ea, verily: Who is that, running out of the freeway! It is Barakat, hands clutching buzzsaw hand extensions! And with a gutteral howl, his voice cometh:
"For the love of carnage and discord, I sow darkness and discord until Satan himself emerges from the pit to thank me!!"
