About Me

I did not feel I needed to do this, but the sheer number is now annoying, thus, if you are advertising your band, then don't bother unless I actually know you. Yes, it is an interesting way to be heard, but you are not original, and quite frankly, you are irritating.
Oddball Brit about sums it up. Actually it tends to sum up most of those within Britain come to think of it so thats no good. Hmm. Been in and around the London club scene for over a decade in various guises, mainly as a clubber at places such as Full Tilt, Sin City, Fright-Nite, Slimelight etc as well as working as Events Manager or Dogsbody for Synthetic Culture (I'm easy to spot during Winter, I'm the cold looking guy standing outside monitoring the queue in a cowboy hat). I've also performed various odds and sods for the scene, ranging from music journalism, DJing, club promotion, ideas guy, organiser, security, band management, record label owner, designer for flyers etc etc. Suppose it's plain to see I love our scene somewhat, although I'm thankful to live outside of the capital where the rush of life isn't quite so bad. Still, nothings come up that'll make me drop my day job (mainly because there's simply not enough money in the Alternative scene to drop day jobs I find). I lurk on various sites, such as under Gryphon on www.Vampirefreaks.com, GryphonICD on www.hotgoth.net, SocietyBurning on www.livejournal.com and as The Pope on www.TurbulentSoundscape.com. I'm also one half of the duet machine torturers known as Project9, our Industrial/Techno music creation and a proud member of Dominion since 1993. Respect to the family; Angel, Beardy, Smegley, Anvil, Muttley, Puppy, Skin, Rentboy Jay, Purple Rainbow, G, Ramsey San, Dirty Denn, Scarie, Sare Bear, Slarky and all outer circle members; Jellybean, Ellie-Mental, Miss Evey, Surfer James, Tommy Two Brains, Keithybaby, George, Rex and...well you should know who you are.
Warning: I'm also a big flirt
Project9 are OllyB and Gryphon.
