About Me


Two administrative things first:
1. I love helping you promote your event, so feel free to post a promo comment. HOWEVER: do please stop posting flyers that are 600 x 600 pixels AND write 500 words on top of it. It sucks. I will NOT approve those.
2. This MySpace thing is sort of overwhelming and getting out of hand. So this profile is restricted to people I know in real life. If you are looking to network with Mister Patrice the drummer, then go add my band/solo project Teenage Prostitute. Thanks!
Born and raised in good ol' Liechtenstein. Lived, studied and worked in the UK (Eastbourne and London), Switzerland (Lausanne), Germany (Marktoberdorf) as well as Greece (Paros). Now spending most of my time in Thailand/Bangkok.
Some time in the future I want to just play the drums (on my own and with bands), write music, listen to music, read books, and watch films. A bit of bedtime aerobics and some food would be nice, too, thank you very much.
Keeping myself busy doing live shows with Panda Records' RedTwenty whenever my friend Bengz (their regular drummer) is out of town.
Still: really, really, really want to meet more musicians to play with! Don't care whether you are an established band or trying to do something new. I am up for it, since playing music is the best thing in the world.
Music I've just been listening to (pretty much reflects yours truly):

My Interests
