About Me

I posses a bruised heart of gold, love music more than myself, will jump at the chance to say something sarcastic to a friend, have been through more bad times than good, and will someday build a ship in a bottle...I play drums and sing backup in a band called Loquat. You could call it Indie-Pop-Electronic music. But, the combination of the great musicians/friends I get to play with, makes it so much more than that.We're working on our second full-length album at the moment, called SECRETS OF THE SEA - and I must say, it's going to be fucking awesome...Also, I've got my own project called Foggy on the Coast, where I play all the instruments and sing. It's supposed to be my version of Country music, but I think my listening to Fugazi and Death Cab has messed that up... Lately, I've been up-ing the tempo and a lot of 50's rock n' roll is creeping in - So, who knows what's in store?

My Interests

Playing music, listening to music, loving music, and talking shit about music. Playing drums and guitar, singing, hanging out with good friends, sarcasm, fernet, my soon to be discovered stand-up comedy career, lingere, the ocean and it's contents, jukeboxes, furniture from the 50's, artwork of large-eyed sad children, my type-writer collection, skateboard videos, mustard, the truth, pin-ups, tattoos, the first time you play a record, making the sex, bacon wrapped prawns, a good night's sleep, my amplified voice, fire, and telling bad jokes at the absolute wrong time...

I'd like to meet:

Good Times....

Foggy on the Coast

I just want to say "thank you", to all you awesome people, who came to the show on friday the 23rd. I've been fighting some serious demons this last year, and my only true outlet was writing song...
