Most Flattering Review
"The bass playing of George Georgiou is.. well
Georgious. His sense of time and where to place his important notes float
intentionally behind the beat and directly on top when needed. Such control is a
blessing to a band and rhythm section." (Don Kimenker of EarBuzz.com
reviewing Mothband Electricity EP ).
Blushing? Who me?!

Wotchupta?
...
I play bass with Victoria
Hume which I adore doing (hurry up and finish the new album
already will ya!), and part of Rich Webb 's
European backing band who will hopefully be back touring in 2007. I also spend a
lot of time watching gigs,
pimping bands I like, networking and looking for new projects for this year.
More recently become addicted to reading and commenting on MySpace blogs, which
has rekindled a desire to write in me. I guess I've become a sometime writer of
short blog-type things, but there's at least one novel in me if I ever have the
motivation to start it!
For my music and writer recommendations, see below or trawl my friends
list.
Yeah but like, tell me 'bout yerself...
A music lover first, bassist second, and some way behind that a
guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, lyricist and sometime keyboardist. One day I
might add writer to that list...
Raised in Edmonton (London, not Alberta) on a diet of pop and soul, digging my own way from Luther back into the
depths of Atlantic and Motown. First gig - saw Chas and Dave when I was 6 (school assembly),
sung soprano when I was 8 (Aled Jones has much to answer for), first band at 9
(four of us armed with
Casios learning Glenn Miller at Tej's house), played alto sax, first played bass
guitar and formed "Blow"
when I was 15 (twelve-piece "soul orchestra"
bringing classics to a generation of pop and indie kids). Dabbled with hip hop,
engineering for the "Infamous Compton Posse" on their first album (main
man Noel latterly discovered guitars too with Dixie ).
Kidnapped by "guitar music" when I moved to South Wales in '93, force-fed a diet of Britpop
and Indie, and invited to join close friends in the formation of "The
Beckett", riding the wave of Britpop through the Swansea student population,
regularly packing out the City's best venues. Regrouping in The Smoke with a new drummer a
few years later, we attacked the London circuit and then brought South West
England to its knees, recording three EP's along the way and denting the early
days of internet music with an
mp3.com Top 20. Where I learned to love being in a rock'n'roll band.
Tarted my bass around several groups after the demise of The Beckett in
02, did some development work with The
Random , Ghost No5, Andrea Miller, x2, Stylus and a few others, as well as gigging regularly with Evi
Vine , Money
$hots , Victoria Hume/Moth and as part of Rich Webb 's UK backing band.
2007
Looking for new projects and the motivation to follow through on my own
ones!
