'playing with himself since 2005'

About Me

youtakethebiggerhalf is the solo effort of one quarter of the now quasi-defunct glasgow band linus. they formed for an arts festival in 2002. played some gigs. made a cd. then moved to different parts of the world. people were left with songs and no band, so the obvious choice was a new project.

'stencils make drawing more fun' was released on 4th november 2005 for the second installment of the very same arts festival that first threw linus together all those years ago.

new news coming soon, keep checking back for gigs and new music. (this was written in october 2007 - let's see how long it actually takes to have 'new news' up here).

head over to www.youtakethebiggerhalf.com and sign up for the mailing list to be kept up to date with all things biggerhalf. (currently 'under construction'. by this i mean i haven't paid for my domain to be renewed, but i will!)
