About Me

Drummer, occasional guitarist, music fanatic. I am into all styles of music but most of all the honest and heartfelt kind.At this moment I am playing with Keith Caputo and a new band called Club Of High Eyebrows which is fronted by Urban Dance Squad singer Rudeboy. I have also played in the bands MissAntarctica (released the record ' Lost Electricity ' on Island rec.), A Day's Work and Ultrawave. Club Of High Eyebrows recorded it's debut album in Frankfurt and will be released on Hazelwood Vinyls this September.Earlier this year I also recorded Keith Caputo's new record in Los Angeles. The great Martyn Lenoble (Jane's Addiction, Porno For Pyros, Scott Weiland, Dave Gahan etc.) produced it and we had the pleasure of working with some fantastic musicians, such as Craig Ross(Lenny Kravitz), Flea, Gerry Leonard (Bowie) and Zac Rae (Pedestrian) among others.The record is called 'A Fondness For Hometown Scars'and is coming out on the 7th of April 2008 on Suburban Records. For all the latest check out www.keithcaputo.com or keith's myspace page.Besides all this, I also study drums at the royal conservatory of Amsterdam, which is very inspiring and a lot of fun.I like to be busy.Check out http://www.suburban.nl/keith/keithcaputo.html for a cool e-commercial for the new Caputo record!
