Waiting for you to wake up but I'm the one who's dreaming!

About Me

..
Let’s start simple and work our way up shall we! My name is Chris and I live in Birmingham, i used to live in Wales and have been known to make the odd trip back every now and then! I play bass in a band (click on the picture above to see what we're like, saves me trying to explain it and coming off all arrogant and big headed, this way i keep an air of mystery!) If you look closely I’ve been told (by pretty much everyone I've ever met, even by some I've never met!) that I look like the very handsome actor who plays Nick in My Family! I suppose there are worse things to look like, a sloth for example, which brings me nicely onto my most noticeable characteristic, laziness!! It’s more selected laziness really, if I say I'll do something I'll do it, I may moan throughout and it could be weeks after it was supposed to be done but it'll get done! This has only worsened since i started my job as now my days are 8 hours shorter for me to get stuff done! I hope you're taking notes there will be a brief test at the end! When it comes to music I like punk and pretty much all of its sub genres (there were 34663635 at last count!) I do like other stuff too but i suppose i have a pretty narrow musical scope! I work for KPMG and that enough about that! if you haven't noticed yet I like to use exclamation marks!! I think I should wrap this up now, this should be like a mini skirt, long enough to cover the essentials but short enough to keep interest (I fear I just missed that!)!! Now for the test what is my favorite food? if you don't know go back and read through it again, if you do know well done and give yourself a gold star!!

My Interests


I like listening to music, playing music, watching bands and pretty much anything else that is associated with music! i dont really have the broadest taste in music but it keeps me happy! i work for KPMG which is ok but i quickly realised i really wasnt made for working, if you dont like big international companies and that kind of thing dont look too closely into KPMG, you wont like it!! i went to uni in birmingham and did maths, i actually graduated to most peoples suprise, while i was there i started ska-punk society which was cool and without that i wouldnt be in the band i'm in today! thats probably about it, if i've missed anything it cant have been that interesting, or i would have remembered, so it doesnt deserve to go in 'interests'!!!

I'd like to meet:

anyone who's cool and likes bad jokes, cause then they'll love mine! if you havent heard the joke about why the bakers hand smells then you havent lived!! Maybe Nick from my family too just to see if we really do look the same!!

Music:

At the moment i'm really into pop-punk, So-Cal style!
NOFX (been my favorite band for as long as i can remember!) No Use For a Name, GOB (one of the most underated bands ever), Rancid (made me play bass!) VALENCIA, Race the Sun, Houston Calls, Bigwig, Anti-Flag, Audio Karate, Strung Out, Good Riddance, Matchbook Romance, Motion City Soundtrack, Lagwagon, Fastlane, Consumed, The Ataris, Audio Karate, The Offspring, Fall Out Boy

and then i like the more emo kind stuff too (probably not what some people call emo but who really knows what emo is these days!?!)
Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Funeral For a Friend, My Chemical Romance, Thrice, Bullet For My Valentine, Hawthorne Heights and loads more i hear at subs and cult but dont really know who they are!!

I was really into ska about a year back and still like it now
Planet Smashers, Five Iron Frenzy, Mad Caddies, RX Bandits (kinda Ska), Voodoo Glow Skulls, Sublime (didnt know where to put these!), Catch 22, Street Light Manifesto, Buck-O-Nine, Mustard Plug, O.C. Supertones and a whole lot more!

Here's a few local bands i like too
Hey Pablo! (best band ever!), Showdown City, Crass Communication there's more too but I dont get to as many gigs as i mean too! thats my new years resolution (to get to more local gigs, so if you dont see me at your gig, you can bad mouth me all over town!)

Movies:

Baseket ball, anchor man, shaun of the dead and basically anything that makes me laugh so much i hurt afterwards! also usual suspects, shawshank redeption, terminator 2 (that ones the best, you know it!!),

Television:

Peep show!!!

Heroes:


My Blog

This made me laugh!!! Are you 'an Emo'!?!

This was actually a real article in The Daily Mail, clearly a well researched paper, they didnt just type 'emo' into google and then add every exagerated stereotype to it did they! since when was...
