Our aim is to bring all the best music and news to you - Let us know if you are in a town that doesn't stock Riot titles and we'll soon fix that.
The ..www.riotact.com.au site is now online with heaps of info.
The website also has a list of all Media outlets, radio stations, mags, websites that support Metal so everyone can tune into their local.
If you have a show on radio and haven't contacted us, let us know your details!!!
Each week THE RIOT ACT will be posted in the Blogs and Bulletin Board and it's a weekly update on all thats happening at Riot and with out bands.
Cheers Chris & John
OTHER STUFF ABOUT ME
About as far from Metal as possible, I'm also diving headlong into my wife Xina's Business - Divine Infusions - which is Vibrational Therapy: aromatherapy, colour and crystal therapy in a bottle basically - We will be launching 6 different products very soon and they all work - Especially the 'Sleep' one - Will post the weblink asap.
What else.
Martial arts - My very good friend Alan Baxter is an instructor in Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu and a PT instructor in and around Sydney AND an Author - He's in my 'Friends' or check out his blog - Click here. .

My Interests

Getting Riot, www.riotact.com.au , and Divine Infusions running well enough so we don't have to do anything else!
Martial Arts
Heavy music - but I like anything from old cock rock to black metal...
And travelling - Ive seen enough of this country - theres too much more to see!!! Seeing how other people live!

I'd like to meet:

Ive practically met everyone (famous and not) that I've wanted to thanks to my job, but those left would be Iron Maiden (all of em!), Rob Halford, Richard Marcinko - The Rogue Warrior (ex Navy Seal turned author), Bill Bryson cause he's a funny bugger & fellow traveller and Jason Newsted, Metallica's second best bass player...On myspace?, anyone with a passion for METAL, living, travelling, and you dont have to be a rock fan like me either - just be totally into what you do and what you are about...

Music:

OK, I'm known as the metal guy at every record company I worked at - Here are my top 5 fav bands Metallica, Alice In Chains, Iron Maiden, Bathory, and a tie for 5th - Black Sabbath, Machine Head, Pantera, Killswitch Engage, Megadeth, Slayer, Kreator, Pink Floyd and Emperor...and you can add Toto to that list after our recent tour.

And I love my 80's too
