Chicken Feed came about pretty randomly, work was a bit quiet and the band I'd been in had come to an unpleasant end, so I just started messing about in the studio on my own with no real aim, I just kept writing and writing and before i knew it I had written and recorded an album in just over a month. The album entitled 'Finding Jim' was released on my record label in june '06 and to my surprise received really good reviews.
In November '07 another record popped, out this time in a much darker vein to the last entitled 'Inside the Machine' this one definately caputured my love of trip hop beats and my bloody valentine style guitars.
Recently Chicken Feed as been put a little on the back burner, I've been recording an album with my friend Natalie under the guise of 'Delilah's Gold', I co-produced Andy Mackay's new album and the fantastic 'Le Tetsuo' Ep entitled 'Your Elbow'
Am hoping to find time to make a new Feed album in the summer.
