About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorLukas the Brave is a shady character with an unnatural interest in young men with facial hair. He writes songs - usually about getting drunk and kissing inappropriate people - and occasionally inflicts them on audiences with the help of kind but misguided friends. He has spent several months in rehab in an attempt to kick his addiction to the music of Kirsty MacColl. His own music has been described as 'folky' and 'anti-folk' - which stricks him as contradictory and was unintentional in the first place. Never mind. He records his songs on a four-track that he bought when he was drunk. He is threatening to learn to play the guitar. Lukas is in full-time employment as a daydreamer and social misfit. In his spare time he writes books and thinks about cleaning the windows. His favourite colour is green. He was awarded the auspicious title of 'Demo of the Week' by the highly respected and well-known 'Planet Sound' pages of Channel 4 teletext. Lukas lives in London with infrequent imaginary cats.

Lots of things happened...

And I mean 'lots'. Lots and lots. That's a lot of lots. Admittedly, none of these lots of things have been particularly productive, but many of them have been fun. Sammy and I had ou...

Brave or just stupid? I quit my shitty job!

Hello hello. It's Saturday, I'm hungover (quel suprise) and somehow still mildly joyful. That's because I handed in my notice at work and now have just one more week of penance to survive....
