About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
As I said before...I'm mad as a badger, and I am EXTREMELY proud of it. I used to be pink haired rocker. Now I just rock, without the slightly unusual hair, because I try to get taken seriously in the big scary world of work. Not selling out, so much as selling myself. I am very VERY proud to be the bass player and general noise maker in Ultraxine which I do with my best mate Kate. In 2008 we have written and created our debut album, "Taking Sweets From Strangers" and have taken it from an idea to an actual shiny cd with sleeve notes and art and everything. And ten rocking tracks obviously. Music is my life. Listening to it, playing it, writing it, reading about it and going to gigs are what gets me through the day. But I need to play more. MORE MORE MORE. HIT THINGS WITH STICKS. MORE MORE MORE.
The debut Ultraxine album is available now...you can check out the music on www.myspace.com/ultraxine and buy the album by clicking on the button below:
One of my favourite bands is GMT. Bernie Torme who plays with GMT also produced the Ultraxine album, so now I am especially fond of them. Once you have checked out Ultraxine and had a good rock-out, make sure you check out GMT afterwards

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

friendly people, who have a sense of humour which is as bad as mine.Incidentally...if I don't know who you are, I won't add you as a 'friend'. I don't need any more weirdos hanging around, I have enough of those already. If you think you know me then tell me who you are, otherwise I'm really not interested!

The moment that it all seems real...

Well...we're poor as church mice but ludicrously happy. The whole Ultraxine 'album' thing is pretty much completed as far as our input (and money - we hope!) is concerned - I've just signed the form ...

You can lead a squirrel to peanuts...

There are three squirrels who visit the garden (we think...there might be more but we've only ever seen three at once). As we've established previously, the squirrels know exactly where every last pe...

RANT ALERT: Well just f**k off then...or on remaining indifferent

It's sometimes REALLY hard being in a band.  Most of you who read this will know that first hand.  But when you're starting out and no-one knows who you are, it's a real hard slog. ...
