Dark Poet

Recording Studio and Rehearsal Room in Nottingham [UK]

About Me

People call me many things, mostly unrepeatable, but usually I'm known as Dark Poet, Psyko and InfoPro. I've been a musician, singer and poet for my entire life, and I look forward to a fairer society not based on multi-national colonialism and the exploitation of the working classes for the benefit of the very few.

On the jukebox at the moment is Return of the Useless Generation by one of my old bands called Katfight.

I now do recording and producing at my own Recording Studio and rehearsal rooms based in the Sherwood area of Nottingham. www.psyrex.net Check out the website or get in touch if you want to record or rehearse, everyone welcome from solo artists/rappers through to full bands of any style or genre.

I post my writing in my blog,...poetry, prose/short stories/creative writing and thoughts/insights into the socio-political and environmental catastrophes that the world is currently facing. Feel free to check it out to pass the time and maybe enlighten your mind!!

My current project is a unit called FAM, UK based alternative/crossover HipHop, dark and with a lot of alternative rock/goth influences, but I think I feel another project beckoning to satisfy my ego as a frontman!!

I am also interested in martial arts, having studied Tae Kwon Do and Kickboxing for many years until being forced to stop due to a bad injury, now fully healed thankfully. I am currently training in Krav Maga, a martial art that is full contact and has no rules. Originally from Hampshire I am now based in Nottingham, a wicked city, with a great atmosphere and a great music scene. But I did also spend several years living in Leicester whilst I did my degree. Obviously, I moved to Nottm for the scene and Rock City,although it is not what it used to be.

Accept no imitations or limitations and you will be heading in the right direction,.....only you can choose your true path though. Too many suffer their own insecurities, narrowing their own life experience and never truly realising their full potential,.....fearing they are worth nothing,......when in fact it is actually a fear that other people may think they are are worth nothing. And so they shut themselves away,...and allow their defeat by default.

Be proud of who and what you are.

Achieve your true potential.

Life is nothing without experience.

Stand up for those who cannot fight for themselves.

Don't believe everything the media and governments tell you,...it is mostly fabricated lies to keep you from the truth.

Do unto others as you would have done to yourself and you will find that you attract those with positive value systems and energy.

Treat people with disrespect and disdain and you will attract exactly that sort of person, and you will never have anyone who you can truly trust to watch your back and catch you when you fall.

The rest I'll leave to your imagination and observation.......

Until we meet.....

I have changed my bithday and removed other details for the prevention of identity theft.

My Interests

The ARTS. Music. Poetry. Literature. Art. Writing, engineering and producing music of all styles,..with the exception of manufactured chart music of course.

Oh yea, obviously sex, drugs n rock n roll is a prerequisite. Cooking and eating good food. Cool people and good times. Truthful people,..it always comes out in the end.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with an open mind and a cool attitude. Any bands who want to do some recording or book a rehearsal space in the Nottingham area of England. Any promoters/managers/investors who want to get in on the first exponents of the next generation of alternative guitar/hip-hop crossover,with all live musicians and non of the bolted together feel of most other attempts. FAM coming near you,...soon.

NONE OF :- Liars, bigots, knuckle heads and government/corporate apologists please leave by the nearest available exit.

But to all the rest come on in,..welcome to the party!!

Music:

Too many to type, but here's a selection. New Model Army. Nine Inch Nails. Marilyn Manson. David Bowie. Iggy Pop. Adam and the Ants. Japan. The Cure [pre-Disintegration]. Bauhaus. Hanoi Rocks. The Mars Volta. Ministry. Joolz. Sisters of Mercy. Jello Biafra [DK's have sold their soul]. Janes Addiciton. Muse. Pantera. RATM. Skunk Anansie. Tool. Stiff Little Fingers. New York Dolls. Wildhearts. Ice T. NWA. Dispoable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. Cypress Hill. Ice Cube.......................... and so on............

Movies:

Lord of the rings trilogy. Withnail and I. Drugstore Cowboy. The Breakfast Club. Taxi driver.

Television:

Don't have the time for it in general, but do like a bit of Sci-fi, and have to watch the news so I can get even more irate as the world slowly disappears up its own arse. Politicians' suck don't they!!

Books:

I like reading, it gets me away from computer screen!! Classic authors such as Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, Thomas Hardy and Bram Stoker, through to modern examples such as Joolz and Iain Banks, The Wasp Factory is just sooo good. The God Delusion is essential.

Heroes:

I have no heroes.

I idolise no-one.

I do, however, gain guidance and inspiration from a few.

Trent Reznor.

Justin Sullivan.

Joolz Denby.

Richard Dawkins
