About Me

You may or may not have heard, but I am the new bass player for the all-girl kick-ass Brisbane band, Hot Liquid Sex. Nice to meet you...
I used to play in a band called Absolute Beginners with my friends Dave and Nissa. We were together for about two years, but then Dave decided to trek across North America, so things were put on hold.
I once tried playing with a drum machine but I traded it in on a bass guitar when I realised that I sucked at making beats. One thing lead to another and then I was playing with Hot Liquid Sex. Funny how things work out...

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Find me on MySpace and be my friend!

My Interests

The librarian/dominatrix dichotomy

Ok, so I've established that I am a librarian.  The reaction I get from people when I inform them of this is quite humerous at times.  Many people think I am too young for this profession.&n...
