About Me

Dave. Mr. Locke. Dr. Spock of clock-shocking rock. Or just cock - whatever persona he takes on, DL is the ultimate tortured musician. Currently unsigned because of a refusal to undergo the mcflysation process, or resort to playing Bryan Adams covers (however much I suggest it), he stalwartly supports the thinking mans metal. All things must change however, and the ginger mans fortunes must be in the offing. With so much talent and skill (yes, he actually plays EVERY instrument on each recording) no world would be able to hold him down for long. A master of every instrument, time signature (ack!) and chord, he has an unusual and brilliant, never-ending thirst for knowledge, showing a real love, not for rock, metal, prog, country, indie, but simply music of every description. The only thing is, the bastard is so damn good at all of it. Great things, I tell you great things youll see.Bob Thomas

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/25/2006
Band Members: Just Myself. I recorded all songs on a Roland VS1680 and played every instrument, guitars, bass and keyboards. No tricks or computer correction used before people ask. Recently I've had to use a drum machine due to not having the oppotunity to use real drums. I still obviously programme the drums, but it's not as good as using the real thing! Hope you enjoy the samples here, and feel free to comment if you like, Thanks
