About Me

I'm a New Zealander living in the UK and at the root of it all, i like music. i like slayer, abba, the beegees, jurassic 5, mr bungle, basement jaxx, charlie parker.... the only problem with this is that of course not everybody likes all those bands so rather than try and hurl a million different styles of music at people i've split it up into 4 categories/bands * Puppet Fight * Limehouse * Pink Tang * The Ventriloquist's Hand all under the mantle of "Mindbait Music" not a record label as such, just my own little sandpit to dig and bury all my different musical ideas: which brings us to Limehouse, mostly as cool and laid back as the name suggests this is going to be a home to acousticy pop songs but also hopefully some old motown style RnB and soul, and on top of that possibly a bit of over the top lushly orchestrated beach boys, burt bacharach, les baxter style numbers, i have a lot of big ideas for this little band..
