The Fringe Of Kuryakin

About Me

Welcome to my space in the strange and wonderful world of modern popular music. I was going to call it 'The Impossible Submarines' and then 'The Helicopter Gang' but I didn't. A place to upload my own songs in demo form or in a live setting for you, the good people of the world wide web. The tracks will sometimes be all my own work and somtimes with the help some very talented, and very, very good friends. Somtimes they with be ace, other times they will be rubbish. Personally I play Fender guitars and sing backing vocals in the 11 piece Northern Soul/Mod Jazz gruppe, DC Fontana of which I am a foundng member (check out the DC myspace included as a friend below....you'll love it!) we play concerts home and abroad and the GP (general public) go for it in a big way. Other notable groups that I've played in and wrote songs for over the years would be; Love on Board, Orange Blossom Special, The Scuba Divers, The MaCoys, The Believers, The Strangeloves & The Glory. I'll be adding photos and tunes from some these bands. So stay awhile and enjoy the fantastic expedition that is The Fringe of Kuryakin! 2008 sees the release of the TFOK debut album 'Vox Humana'...so start saving your spare change in one of those big old whisky bottles!!
