Firedogs

You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !I started playing guitar not long after seeing Siouxsie and the Banshees playing in Belfast 3rd September 1979…it was a memorable date for a few reasons. Firstly it was the last gig by the original line up, and secondly there was a full scale riot beforehand! “Punk riot in Belfast!” was I think the tabloid headlines next day… There have been a few bands I’ve played in along the way. My favourite was called “Pseud Case”..me and my mates Niall and John Marchini (later to join That petrol Emotion) played freestyle improvised instrumental psychedelic music. In 1991 I bought my first 4-track portastudio and have worked largely on my own since then. I write and record quickly (my latest cd collection “spectrum analysis”, I wrote and recorded over 5 days). I usually know when I have to write because I start getting sleepless nights. I suffer intense insomnia over these periods, sometimes lasting for weeks on end. They are very productive times, but completely exhausting! Since 1991 I have recorded 31 albums worth of material… More recently I turned my hand to song writing and was extremely fortunate to marry someone with such a beautiful voice as Ann. She comes up with all the melodies and harmonies to the words that I write. Words that most often have no apparent sense (even to me!) or structure. Again I write my lyrics as a stream of consciousness. I rarely go back and amend them. I hope you enjoy what we do and will pass word on to your friends about us if you do…and I always suppose you could pass on our details to your enemies if you don’t like us! Let them suffer!
