Light my candle baby... and I'll burn your house down!

About Me

My name is Brady. I look like a wookie, and sometimes people call me Chewy. In a nutshell, I'm hairy. I'm hairy outside of the nutshell too, it would probably be substantially more visible on the outside of a nutshell however. I like it out here.
I spend alot of my time doing the aforementioned (gigs and such), sometimes I work though. It's fun.
I love music, I love going to gigs, playing gigs, being involved in festival crowds (especially the not showering and not wearing shoes part) and finding a new band that I can show other people. I play bass in two bands, Red Eagle and Dessipura. I sing sometimes too. Once I was onstage singing a song and I wrecked a microphone stand and removed a speaker from the stage into the crowd below with my foot. It wasn't as epic as I'm putting it, but I thought I should provide a window to my stage talents.
I've been told more times then probably is acceptable that I'm so laid back, I'm lying down. I've also been told once that I don't apply myself... it made me bite my tongue because I applied for the job.
Oh and I also enjoy cigarettes... I don't know if this is a problem, but yeah.
"And so it was that I, a wayward throwback to the Mesozoic, was enslaved as a circus freak to entertain you drunken monkeys. But Fate still had her twisted sense of humor and she granted me safe passage to sunny Florida, where for over the past 300 years now I have been breeding with an unheard of efficiency. And soon my progeny will rise up and say "Hail Draco, king of the dragon men!" - Neil Fallon, Oregon by Clutch

My Interests

Playing gigs, going to gigs, listening to music, talking about music, talking about listening to music, talking to music and watching things about music. Drinking rosé. Smoking cigarettes, hanging out with mates, going on spontaneous adventures, sleeping in, driving... while listening to music. Being lazy is rad too. Aparently not my most championed quality however.

I don't really like people who start fights because they think they are rad... if this applies to you, you are un-rad. I don't enjoy drinking Cranberry Juice or Pineapple Juice. Actually I don't enjoy anything Pineapple related.

Also... I have a question for all the Parmesan Cheese lovers out there... CAN'T YOU SMELL THAT?!

I'd like to meet:

People who like ice cream.
