loose, lo fi & a bit camp...

About Me

rough home demos of tunes done for fun
if anyone wants to remix or record any of it properly I’d be happy...
Message for those who, like me, get sick of being spammed with band friend requests: Children on Steroids isn’t an ’artist’. It’s a guy with a day job and a daughter, a mortgage and all the trappings of an ordinary life, a deep love of music and a penchant for bombast and attention-seeking.
I also do a bit of DJing. Download a typical set style (big file - hi quality) from here

There’s a more chilled bar-syle/warm-up set here
There are a couple of Children on Steroids electronica tunes available. Check out Lost in the Night and Charlotte’s Dream
This profile was edited without Tom’s MySpaz editor because I can’t be arsed.
Incidentally, the future of rock n roll is pink and wrong. You should know this. It’s important...

Yes, I am. I've just been up to other stuff for the last few months. For example, I got burgled. The insurance gave me an even better camera than the one that got nicked. Look - it does great video&nb...

Carbon Silicon - The Inn On The Green, Friday February 1 2008

Is it because he no longer has anything to prove? Could it be the impact of knowing you made history, inspired scholarly books and changed lives? Or is it just because he loves rock n roll? Mick Jones...

I get high...

I used to walk a lot with my wife. She introduced me to the hills and the mental balm of escaping the squalor of consumerism and spoon-fed commercial entertainment. As the already-experienced walking ...
