About Me

I'm dutch, was born and raised in Holland but I'm half Indonesian (Maluku). I've been living in London for the last 9 years. I started squatting in Brixton, Peckham, Loughborough Junction, Camberwell and Kentish Town before moving to the best part of London: HACKNEY, where I've been renting a flat with my cat and 2 flatmates for the last 5 years now.
I like making noise and play guitar in 2 punkrock bands: The Restarts & The Short Bus Window Lickers , click on the links to see our websites or on the links on my friends list below to see our myspazz pages. I love bicycles and used to work as a bicycle messenger for 6 and a half years, but joined the 'other side' a few months ago, yes I'm a white van man now. Work will never be a priority in my life though, I live for the weekend, my friends, my cat, punkrock, good vegan food, good times and garlic beer!

My Interests

Punkrock, GARLIC, bicycles, cats, playing guitar, beer, vegan food, nuts, Great Danes, touring, meeting new people to drink beer and talk bollox with.

I'd like to meet:

Itxi!! I can't get enough of her! and Doug Stanhope.

By the way I don't normally add bands unless I really like them, and I normally only add people if I've drank with them before.
