About Me

I am a musician from Kansas living in London, I moved over here three years ago. I am currently working on building a project and working on several different instruments on my own, but am also looking to start or join a group. If you want to hear something I've recorded check out Lost on the Way in my top friends. Spread the word londoners! If anyone knows of a decent band needing a good drummer pleaeeeeaaaaase send me a message:)..

My Interests

Beer research...The Kansas City Chiefs..KU basketball...Arsenal FC..music, music and more music...

I'd like to meet:

Jesus Christ, John Bonham, Buddy Rich, and also I would love to meet any musicians who are serious about what they do and into "good music". Now I don't know what constitutes "good music" but I know what I personally think sounds good...and unbearable...by the way Sandi Thom "punk rocker"...That song is unbearable! Sooooooooo unbearable.."I wish I was a punk rocker w/ flowers in my hair"...in 69..is she confused what the hell is she singing about...does she want to be a punk rocker or a hippie not that being a hippie is much better...what's wrong w/ just being good old Sandi...actually F&^£ Sandi Thom..sorry for the tangent this is turning into a blog. Anyway stylistically I love Folk, Classical, Big Band, Industrial, Rock, Prog Rock, Jazz, Funk, Breakbeat, Psycadelic Trance, Hip-Hop, old school R&B, Hard Core(well ok just Pantera), Blue Breaks, and other styles anything that doesn't suck. I am not terribly bothered about what instrument/s you play, the more the merrier so long as you enjoy it...and you are not a complete cunt:) hahahaha...
