About Me

Some are born into the world with one aim in life... and others can't seem to find the target. I just hold the trigger and let my finger do the talking.
What does that mean I hear you ask... and the fact is I can't tell you. You will need to open the package to figure it out.
In the meantime Valve has consumed me and I am just a slave to its firing range. Based in Brisbane and releasing whatever music enters my consciousness... including the demons.
Distributed by MGM and slowly driving them crazy as tends to be the way.
Stuck somewhere between Klaus Kinski and Timothy Treadwell. Prone to repetitive stutters, no concern for the fashionable or having been... if it is possible.
Stay tuned for something of substance soon. And in the meantime don't accept anything and do your utmost to lower the impact corporations are having on the world. Space travel is just not possible over great distances due to bodily disintergration.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/20/2006
Band Website: valverecords.com.au
Band Members: Regurgitator, I Heart Hiroshima, An Horse, Sekiden, Jane Woody, Ponyloaf, Del Toro, Do the Robot, Zoobombs, Curseovdialect, Jump 2 Light Speed, Scul Hazzards, Lloyd & Michael, Dear Nora, Blox, Kid606, The Bird, Drop the Lime

Influences: Anything. Everything. "The music came forth as a NO that became a YES, then a NO again, then again a YES: nothing is true except our conviction that the world we are asked to accept is false. If nothing was true, everything was possible"

Valve Records created BAND IN A BUBBLE in conjunction with Regurgitator (and developed with XYZ) - the experimental merge (and parody) of music industry and reality shows where Regurgitator lived in a purpose built glass studio in Federation Square, Melbourne for 3 weeks to create, live, eat and sleep live in public, on TV, the Internet... a media convergence spectacle. Valve Records manages the international rights for this project and has so far licensed the concept to the US & UK... with current discussions under way for Germany. The US version aired in May 2007 on MTV with the band Cartel on the inside of a somewhat different approach to the Australian version. The Australian version is now available on DVD. www.bandinabubble.com
