About Me

The band is about 40 years old and has 1 bandmember :), but is now featuring my good friend and guitarist Søren Nørup.Music have always had my greatest interest and affection. I started out listening to danish bands like Gasolin and shubidua and later i was i awe of the rockn'roll sound that Elvis had. My first drumset (a red Pearl Export , wow) was bought when i was around 12 using al my savings. This was my first true love, playing my drums to bands like Dire Straits in my boysroom with only a red light turned on. I was in to rock alot and was a great fan of espeially Van Halen, AC/DC and Dire Straits, but my mouth dropped when i heard the bassplaying in Level 42 for the first time. At the age of 17 i bought a rickenbacker bas from the bassplayer of the famous danish band "Maple". Now i was a bassplayer and started playing in different kinds of bands. Everything from heavy to jazz. In 1995 i became a member in the band Savage Affair where we enjoyed good succes with 3 cd's, radiohits and touring Denmark for several years. I also joined the notorius danish band Led Zeppelin Jam. I am still touring with Led Zeppelin Jam (see picture) and there is talk about making a revival of Savage Affair. I'm also a recording bassist for different artists ranging from heavy to pop, r&b and folk. So music is still a great part of my life and some of my own songs i place this myspace site. hope u enjoy it I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
