Scruffy Bird Management

My name duncan ellis or ellis depending on how well you know me... I run a music company called Scruffy Bird - www.scruffybird.com. I've been running it with my two friends, well if you can call them that, for about 3.5 years, too long! (Love them really) Previous to that I worked in music industry for 10 years (retail, distribution, management, and various music start ups blah blah) . The company specializes in PR (Press, Radio, TV) and Artist Management. We have a diverse roaster including acts such as The Young Knives, Rumble Strips, Stanton Warriors, Bjork, Wolfmother, Cold War Kids, Dan Sartain to name but a few. If you're interested you should check our website (URL above). I personally manage, The Young Knives (www.theyoungknives.com), Rumble Strips(//www.rumblestrips.co.uk) Foals (www.myspace.com/foals adn Heron.(www.myspace.com/crackedanalogue) My life outside music is unfortunately pretty limited, as sadly (depending on your view point) my life is music. This essentially involves listening to music on a daily basis, going out and partying hard, and of course working like a dog for no money. Yes! Yes! the rumours are true. However, when I do get a free moment to myself I like to be on my own, sit in silence (pref a dark room) reflect, watch films, plenty of excercise, booze and getting completely boxed and talking rubbish at least once a month.
