About Me

Ill start with the most recent bands ive been involved with,CRESS,I was the rythmn guitarist and one of the three singers, i could also be known as Hal2000, the drumteck.Enjoyed many a year touring with CRESS, made some fantastic friends along the way (and some not fantastic friends) travelling as far east as Slovenija,distributing our blend of Anarcho Punk to the kids, thats "Monuments" the album, the "split ten inch with Doom" and the seven inch called "from violence to consumerism" all can be bought as one on Skuld, under the guise of " the greed machine and the money tree" x2 lp.Before Cress i was the guitarist /singer in the Spacetastic band "the ATOMIC SPACE CAKES" no releases other than demos, like " travelling through time with the ASC" only really played in Wigan but if you saw us you,de probably remember us, or Dave Cress dancing all over the place. Before ASC, i was involved for many years in "THE DEFORMED" playing the drums and then having a go at singing for them, we did a track on "Bullshit Detector" for CRASS,and two singles for Boston Tea Party in Denmark, "Blind Faith" and "Ritual" there is a double cd now called "the anarchy years and other rituals" on NNWN,Poland, i like the Rituals cd, its more Gothy than the noise punk side, so this brings me round to the presnt day, "LUNAR MUSIK" we just record, dont do the live thing ,it would be too taxing for our small under used brains to set all the midi gear up, we have trouble plugging a keyboard in, never mind all the gear, Stig and Chris from Cress help twiddle those LFO buttons, we released an LP x2 on Skuld called "Mixes for Eclipses" ( checkout www.myspace.com/lunarmusik )its style is Ambient Reggae Dub, its pretty much at the other end of the scale from the punk stuff ive been involved with,we do all our own recording in the studio (were ever i live) that we call "REHAB" its small but compact, thats enough about me.
