I play bass in THE FIRM. Don't mess with me.

THE VAPOUR TRAIL (hosted by The Firm) We've got 3 great bands playing every month (not just any 3 bands, bands we like and that fit in with the night) plus me aka Julia Justice (lol) & Magenta Placenta are DJing every month!
Print this flyer to pay only £4 at the door!

Check this out, this is hilarious! Morrissey meets Rob Smith.

My Interests

Your pants.
Making sure my bass is low slung & that I've got enough bleach for my hair.

I'd like to meet:

Certain gods that play in my favourite bands like...

Music:

The Cure, The Smiths, Morrissey, Interpol, Glasvegas, Suede, Libertines, Joy Division, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Editors, The Strokes, Babyshambles, House of Love, New Order, Bloc Party, Jesus & Mary Chain, Bauhaus, Bolshoi, Ladytron, Klaxons, CSS, Kraftwerk, My Bloody Valentine, Manic Street Preachers, David Bowie, The Long Blondes, The Horrors, Marion, Blondie, The Cult, Dirty Pretty Things, For Against, The Doors, The Organ, Pulp, Jarvis Cocker, David Hasselhoff, Kaiser Chiefs, The Drowners, The Violets, Ride, Hatcham Social, Public Image Ltd, White Rose Movement, Infadels, These New Puritans, The band that is sexier than my new shoes. (I also think 'The Final Countdown' is a bloody awesome song but apart from that I've got a pretty good taste in music, do I not?)
The best song to get you in a good mood in the morning (on those depressing tube/bus journeys in the early hours...) is 'Cold" off Pornography by The Cure. Very recommended.

Television:

I don't really watch TV apart from drooling over bald men on EastEnders

Books:

Leslie Grantham - 'Life and Other Times', Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' Trilogy, The Cure - 'Never Enough' (by Jeff Apter), 1984, Oscar Wilde - 'The Picture of Dorian Gray', Harry Potter, Albert Camus 'The Outsider', Torn Apart - The Life of Ian Curtis (This is what I'm currently reading!)

Heroes:

SIMON GALLUP!!!
He's the absolute hero who came up with the most genius basslines.
AND he plays a thunderbird aswell!

My Blog
