About Me

WHAT'S HAPPENIN' PEOPLE? WELCOME TO MY FUCKING PAGE WHERE I HOPE TO POST ALL MY MUSICAL BOLLOCKS AND WRITE TOTAL SHIT IN MY BLOG. I AM CURRENTLY MANAGING THE BALLADEERS AT THE MOMENT AND AS SUCH, I'VE HAD TO KINDA PUT MY SHIT ON HOLD FOR A BIT BUT KNOW I HOPE WE CAN GET SWINGING AS I'VE HAD THAT SAME VERSION OF THAT DEMO UP FOR A WHILE AND REALLY HAVE DONE NOTHING WITH IT. ALL SHOULD CHANGE THOUGH AS I'M WORKING FUCKING HARD ON SOME SIMPLE LYRICS FOR A FEW THINGS I HOPE TO GET JACKSON IN ON. ALSO GOT LOTS OF BEATS DONE HERE AT HOME SO IT'S A SIMPLE CASE OF TAKING MY ASS ROUND TO JACKSONS STUDIO FOR SOME RECORDING. I HOPE THAT THE NEW STUFF I BRING OUT IS STILL RELEVANT TO MY STYLE WHICH I LIKE TO DESCRIBE AS THE PHILHARMONICAL TORTURE SCREAMS OF AFGHAN CIVILIANS ECHOED TO THE WARRING STREETS OF BAGHDAD.

The Balladeers are playing today at The Cellars in Glasgow.  Doing an accoustic set without our bassist Dave and drummer Ruaraidh, but with Dave Duffy stepping in to fill some of the void, I beli...

Politics and phat beats

It's been a bit of a hectic weekend.  Got the first part of my cover of Everlasts "What It's Like" recorded at Jacksons house on the16th and I've been creating drum loops for it ever since. ...

Plodding on

Home sweet home

Well, as my Amsterdam experience comes to an end finally, there is hope for The Balladeers playing The Smoking City.  De Stoof is a bar situated in the heart of the Red Light District, nice venue...

Hot as Fuck

Been round all these venues now and my feet are killing me.  I must admit that the Amsterdam music scene is some what reserved and I'm finding it hard to convince these buggers that I can get a ...

Finally something done

Managed to lay about 12 drum tracks down and fill a few spaces on the first couple of songs for the project with some rudamentary bass and some cheesey sinth that I fucked around with.  Finding d...

Strugglin

Been struggling for lyrics this week.  I’ll put it down to not writing lyrics for so long but I thought that once I found my feet I’d be able to get things under way.  But no.&nb...
