About Me

I play and record music.I sing and play guitar in MONIACK and BROWN JENKIN. Moniack sounds like a cross between "Red" era King Crimson & Jesus Lizard, Brown Jenkin is early seventies Heavy Medieval Bludgeon Prog.I play drums for KLING KLANG & LES BOF! Kling Klang is possibly the world's first true Krautrock band involving many analogue synths, Les Bof! is a unique French sixties garage/beat combo. I previously drummed for Firestone Legend Of The Hawk & the "plas-rock" band RockaRagnarok. I'm also proud to have served time in the DEVO tribute SPUD BOY. I am co-owner of Arcadia Recording Studio in Edinburgh ([email protected]). I reject as worthless almost all modern popular culture out of hand due to its inherent moral and philosophical bankruptcy, and oppose vehemently the facile & Capitalistic notion of culture as a manufactured commodity. I favour v-necks, a light touch during mastering & dance in a wildly ersatz manner. I cannot cope with basic Arithmetic, but I can sing almost anything imaginable except really low stuff, eg. Barry White, and I simply won't do "chicken & chips" hi-hat work.Let's face it, you're gonna try to add me whatever gibberish I put up here, because you're so utterly desperate it doesn't matter whether or not I could ever have the slightest interest in your indie band/swinging lifestyle.....
