About Me

When in doubt, leave it out.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/28/2006
Band Website: www.rottenond.com
Band Members: Everything you hear is me, recorded on ProTools @ home. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x Also playing bass with This Machine & Me, see my friends here. Play guitar with Yune on stage. Have been playing guitar with Billy Jenkins & The BBC. Longstanding project with Leeds man Mhic McGlashan is Short Cut To Trouble - I play guitar and we write the material together.
Influences: I grew up on jazz (dad) and crooners (mum). Later on went into hardrock (Zep, Deep Purple) and blues (first Rory Gallagher - so I bought an electric ! - then Muddy, John Lee Hooker and so on). Playing bass and writing quite a bit at the moment. Looking for money to record 'solo' album. Probably in the UK. Have a major liking for funk and free improvising. Don't think 'genre' is important, but obviously we're all limited to something. Very important to me are, zum Beispiel : - John Coltrane - Jimi Hendrix - Rory Gallagher - Richard Thompson - - Van Morrison - Michelle Shocked - Muddy Waters - Wes Montgomery - Bach - Billie Holiday, James Blood Ulmer, Ornette Coleman, Joni Mitchell, James Jamerson, and so on ...
Sounds Like: Sound.
Type of Label: Major
