TOMaHAWK & the Monsoon Destroyers

About Me

"Dear listener,so here we're supposed to write something about our lives. I guess that, by now, you must have realised that, back in our days, we used to play all the old tunes. By Duke, Lady Day, Louis and many others. Also some Bela Bartok or some other weird shit that came from the east. So, you ask, why did we decide to drink the life elixir and reinvent ourselves? hmm. Question of habit, I guess. Looking for the more challenging twists, curves and bumps this life has to offer, one ends up remarking that creativity is one of the principle sources of joy our days present us with. What's more, to each one of us the people most dear are often those who manage to change our point of view. I'm talking about the old man or woman who speaks one simple sentence, yet it holds such profound wisdom that it's capable of opening a whole new perspective; I'm talking about the girl or boy you never intended to fall in love with, but somehow you did and it makes the very same morning coffee that you've been drinking for all those years get a flavour your memory can't seem to trace...Anyway, this is the feeling we hope to leave you with after our next encounter. Don't be mistaken, we're very aware of the anachronism of these words of gentle melancholy on a myspace website. We use this road exclusively for promotional matters. Our life isn't on the internet, and neither is our music. What we are about is playing the best we can on every real-life occasion, for you. We love to be welcomed :)Thanks for listening." ..
