About Me

I'm a retired punk musician. My first band was founded in 1983, and since than I have been playing in different groups. I have a lot of instruments, like: bass guitars, guitars, a piano, a double bass, a tuba, a trumpet, percussion instruments, but I play my bass guitar the most. My present group is a trio called Columbo's Dog, but I was a singer of a Stranglers tribute band, the Rattus Hungaricus for a while, and occasionally I play Clash songs with another tribute band. Since I cannot sleep at night I'm trying to compose some music, that won't let people sleep. I will use all of my instruments.
