Opera Dog started in 1998, working at first on my own and later joined by Marcus "Neddy" Moir. We did a batch of tunes under the dubious banner of "4 EPs". Mostly it was a sampling exercise, mashing up Adam Ant, Wire, Can, Spiritualized, Beatles, Led Zeppelin and bashing them into new forms.

In between that and the next I did Clinker, but came back to Opera Dog to do a mini-albums worth of tunes called "Water"in 2002, I think. It was more downbeat than "The 4 EPs" and didn't rely on samples at all. Marcus had long disappeared got married and moved to Kent, bless him, so I soldiered on alone.
Next came "Porno" in 2004. The main track may or may not be used for a film soon and nearly got me signed. It's got a sleazy, dirty, party feel to it. Decadent I suppose. It's not just about sex and porno, but i'll leave that open....Please indulge, feel dirty and enjoy.
Both "Water" and "Porno" albums are available to download for FREE from www.clinker.org.uk.
Meanwhile enjoy these samples!
