Mr. T

I am a punk rock Dad!

About Me

.. I'm a guitarist in a punk rock band in the UK called Second In line. Other bands I've been in are: Nobodys Heroes, Claims Direct, Snatch, (the) On Trial (organisation), Look Mum No Hands, Even If It Kills, Headshot (and some others not worth mentioning).We're always putting shows on and if you're in a band and fancy a gig swap then please drop me a line!I also take utterly shite pictures of bands at gigs. I'm getting sick of being asked why I quit On Trial. No I never fell out with Jonny, we're still mates. I got annoyed with all the shit that was surrounding the band, on trial was something Jonny and I had created together and it started to develop into a direction I didn't really want to go, so that's it as simple as.I don't eat anything made by Nestle, I don't eat in McDonalds, I won't buy anything made by Nike (and now Converse shoes as Nike own them), I don't use Proctor & Gamble products, I don't buy petrol at Shell or Esso and I won't bank with Natwest. if you wanna know why, feel free to ask me

My Interests

West Ham United, Punk Rock, Collecting Vinyl, Finding cool CD's by cool bands, Going to shows, Pez machines, Playing shows (and subsequently seeing too many service stations around the UK) (check the band out :: Second In Line - www.secondinline.co.uk ::) and Taking pictures at shows. Also hanging out with my amazing daughter who totally rocks more than you!

I'd like to meet:

Do I really need to meet anyone? You'd need to be pretty fucking cool to make my friends list. I don't approve random bands who try to add me, let's face it you may rock but I ain't gonna check you out, sorry but that's the way it is. Add your band to the Second In Line friend list instead. If you're not a band then give it a go. Everyone on my friends list is already pretty fucking cool though and Mr. T approved....so if you think you've got what it takes....try your luck sucka!
