Garage punksters Recoil, 60s cover band The Revival, Seriously Metallic 'funsters' Ramrod, The mighty mighty doomsters Slug, The awful Chemical Kate, The deranged Infra and recently his out of time strumming was heard in Heads of State (plinky plonky punky not funky trio),KWK (The bark at the moon insane Metallers who could never have been described as Liverpool most popular band!) and he included out of tune singing as the front-man (and indeed only man) in The Bitches of Psychedelia where he explored stranger musical directions and had immense fun.
He did occasional forays (i.e. when Denis could be arsed doing anything and if he bothered to ask me!) with Matreoshka allegedly arty types with a delay pedal and a willingness to hacksaw things in two whilst wearing gas masks on stage and he was up for the now never going to happen but planned once a year gig with Plan-B (now renamed 'The Real Plan-B', Jazz punk from Liverpool for want of a better description).
He is now currently taking to the stage and dodging the bottles again with Jan and Laura and Greedy Jesus in what is now called Cupboard Wolves or more fully The Transdimensional Interstellar Cupboard Wolves of the Infinite Universes...

'1981 (part II)' by the Cupboard Wolves
May 2009 - First rough mixes of a reworking of 1981 (below) played at the faster speed we originally wanted it at, got to add the trumpets next

'Corpy Club (part II)' by the above mentioned Cupboard Wolves
May 2009 - Again the first mixes from a Vulcan Studios demo (Thanks to Gary Thomas for production). This is the full 7 minute version!

'1981'by The Bitches of Psychedelia
February 2007 - The Bitches of Psychedelia started to record an EP to be called Apocalypso - the first and only taster uploaded here is the rough demo of a little ditty called 1981

'Shame' by Slug
Taken from an early demo recorded at Crash Studio sometime around 1990. It cuts off towards the end (not a bad thing maybe?!) and it needs redoing from the master tape as the quality is fairly bad - though I'm now liking the tape whooshing noises! Feb 2009

'After All This Time...' by Heads of State
Heads of State demo recorded by Tom. It is Tom George's solo effort in a recording studio playing all the instruments as well as singing. The drums were a keyboard setup! Fair moves along this one! Uploaded Nov 2007

'He recently shaved his hairy bush' by Plan-B
I've now uploaded the the full version including manic chantalong ending (mainly because I've learned how to use my MP3 converter)
The sad saga of a man who unfortunately drops his chewing gum into his pubes whilst wanking. Recorded live (as if you couldn't tell) and sticking to the strict Plan-B music code - that is 'we don't care what you think' Uploaded Oct 2006

'Corpy Club' by Cupboard Wolves
Simple working version of this song with no drums, written about the Corpy Club that used to exist in Bootle (near the Saltbox and Pacific) which was a den of iniquity, dodgy people and crown green bowls... Uploaded Aug 2008

'Shine On by Cupboard Wolves
Another temporary recording / work in progress. Uploaded Aug 2008
