About me :
whats up....
Upcoming Gigs
Hello everyone...
I just came back from overseas and had a great time doing promo stuff for my band - The Tenth Stage.
I stayed with ANGELSPIT while I was in Berlin, and we all went to Wave Gotik Treffen together, where I did their live sound mixing onstage and Roberto played keys for ANGELSPIT.
I met heaps of awesome people and had such a great time!
One of my treasured memories is driving with my cousin in Munich and hearing Depeche Mode playing on the Radio (Bayern3).
And then being in Milan in a store near Il Duomo and hearing Propaganda on the radio. Twice!!
Australian Radio Stations take note....expand your musical programming!!
My itinerary was:
LONDON : MAY 20-25
BERLIN : MAY 25
LEIPZIG : MAY 26 - 30 (We will be onstage at Wave Gotik Treffen with Angelspit)
BERLIN : MAY 30 - JUNE 3
MUNICH : JUNE 3 - 10
MILAN : JUNE 10 - 18
Cheers,
John
I'm
in a band called - The Tenth Stage
The Tenth Stage's music can be defined as dark, theatrical pop with an
enigmatic blend of synthetic and acoustic instruments. Their sound is
an eclectic mix electronica, dub, reggae and classical blended together
to create twisted pop tales from the darkside - an ironic fist in a velvet
glove

comedy show called
Black Sheep, on Channel 31
Black
Sheep
Here's the blurb from the website :
Black Sheep
Written by Darren McAuliffe
Friday, 03 November 2006
Made by the youth for the youth, Black Sheep is a comedy sketch show featuring
random sketches and character based skits. Made in Melbourne with location
and studio based shoots. Featuring all original content, male and female
cast; bringing a fresh new outlook, with outrageous and hilarious characters
and events, that will leave you wanting more.
The
focus is on creating a variety of lovable characters rather than relying
on parody and send-ups.
Skits range in length from a few seconds to a few minutes. Black Sheep
features as part of Channel 31's Bite Size.
I
teach Kickboxing
(includes Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Boxing)
Part of my training towards Black-Singlet is that I'm required
to teach classes and also participate in the marking of students during
their Gradings.
I've bee n
kickboxing for about 6years now.
I teach / train at Melbourne
Kyokushin Karate
At the moment I'm teaching the 0700 Tuesday and 0700 Thursday morning
classes.
I'm also available for Private Lessons.
I was awarded a Crimestoppers Award for
Bravery in 2002
After a hit and run accident I chased down the driver, who fled from the scene on foot.
I caught him and brought him back to the scene of the crime, ignoring his screams of "Let me go, I've killed people, I'm a fucking killer" (he was, you know!!)
Waiting for him were his victims in the car he hit, along with many gawking onlookers (who do absolutely nothing as usual) Ambulance Paramedics, Fire Trucks and of course the Police, who were all too happy to rid the streets of one more shit-head.
I was nominated citizen of the year in 1991
for apprehending a bag-snatcher
As I was leaving my apartment in the city I heard a scream "Stop Thief!!" (can you believe it!!) so I looked over my balcony and saw two teenage-junkies running down the lane, with an old lady on the ground at the other end.
The friend I was with tended to the old lady, while I gave chase to the junkies. I passed the female offender (she wasnt carrying the hand-bag) and eventually caught up with the male and subdued him. I held him for 15 minutes till the Police arrived!!
Needless to say the old lady (Peg) and I have remained close friends since then.
She takes great delight in calling me "My Hero", much to my chagrin!! (really!!)
Hello Peg!!
Australian Champion Ballroom Dancing -
Under16 Category (Modern)
When I was a youngster (and when Ballroom Dancing was daggy) I used to do quite a bit. We'd go to all the comps and I did win my fair share. Trained with Meryl and Graham Thomspon, Bob Court The Lonsdales and countless other studios..
I Love Dachshunds!!!
Moritz (My departed Dachshund) was the best Dachshund I ever knew.
We've had three generations in our family, and I've loved them all.
My dream is to one day have a large house with a huge backyard that is filled with MANY sausage-dogs..
See him here (Scroll down to Moritz)
