About Me

A Bit About Me

I play guitar with British goth rock band Rhombus. 4 people who refuse to conform or grow up. We make sod all money but we've had some bloody good nights out!

Ed (from Rhombus) & myself also have an acoustic project with the highly original name Grassby & Walker, playing a mix of Rhombus songs, cover versions and, in time, some original material written specifically for the project

I also have my own side project called Sodium which, so far, has been a mixture of acoustic work and songs which were never quite right for Rhombus. One day i might get round to recording some of it.

I'm more interested in the music side of goth rock than the latest fashion! Most EBM & Noise gets on my nerves and as for glowsticks... don't even go there!

A Bit About Rhombus

Rhombus are a Goth Rock act based in the north of England, Mixing male and female vocals with swirling guitars and driving bass. We're more traditional than the missionary position.

We play all over England, venturing up into Scotland and down as far as Somerset and where we haven't been our music has being regularly played in alternative clubs across the United Kingdom and Mainland Europe, stilton might not travel well, but we do.

We've played a lot of good venues, clubs and towns. We've played with some top bands including The Damned, NFD & The Last Dance.

CDs, t shirts, badges and digital downloads are all available to purchase from our website www.rhombus-rock.com .

2007 heralded the release of our new CD ‘Remembrance Day’ with support from Resurrection Records, saw our permanent line up expanded to four members, and the new CD receiving airplay as far a field as New York, Chicago, Moscow and Sydney.

If we're not playing your town soon, drop us a line, we'll try and sort it out.
