Morning! Thanks for stopping by.
This section is usually filled with absolute crap, so I'll keep it either short, or wrong, which ever is easiest.
Some things are not as they seem.
There is hidden meaning in everything, intentional or not.
Change is good.
No-one likes the blacklist.
If you dont occasionally push yourself outside your comfort zone, you'll get bored very quickly.
If you piss someone off, dont expect to be forgiven.
Music and girls make the world go round.
Getting older is inevitable
Writing songs is easy. Writing good songs is super hard.
Being in a band is sometimes outrageous.
Liking someone a lot is often misunderstood for jealousy and paranoia, I think we have Friends to blame for this.
Karma is so good..
I play Tenor Sax and sing backing vocals in a band called Brevity Code. We used to be called Milk2Sugars. I also playing super-stand in for Grown At Home on their European tour this year, and whenever they need a hand. I try my hand at writing some of the songs in my band. I find it best that a band actually practises and does gigs, its the only way.
If you like things a little harder, go for Small Town Records at www.myspace.com/smalltownrecords. It's run by my friend Pete and he has a roster of hardcore hair-metal going down over there.
Have a look at my pics. I like to rock out. In fact, thats what I do the best.

My Interests

Playing music and rocking out is my thing. Its a good job, because I've nearly done 400 gigs! I play Sax, I sing a bit, I write songs (not all of which get heard, a small amount of the heard ones get played, a very small percentage get recorded), one of them is in that YouTube video on this page, its quite cheesy. Great. I can also play the guitar, being self taught at it, its more like a guessing game.

Along the way I have played gigs with some amazing bands. These include The Voodoo Glow Skulls, Lagwagon, The Real McKenzies, Mc Lars, Zebrahead, Against All Authority, My Awesome Compilation, Darius Dinesh, Capdown, Sonic Boom Six, MU330, Adequate 7, and too many other smaller bands to really mention properly...

I'd like to meet:
