Lindsay Phillips is the lone figure that plays his dark songs on the janky little stage of your hallowed local venue. Whilst you're waxing lyrical about your investment portfolio and 5 year plan, Lindsay is right there in the thick of the decisive moment singing his songs borne of dissatisfaction with a world he faces head on and with which he is always at odds. He ain’t there to be the centre of attention in God’s little tragic soap opera; he’s just the soundtrack to all of your terrible acting. Whilst you’re cheering at the wall mounted screen and 'talking' about what you’re doing with your life, Lindsay’s a man who’s actually living it just on the peripheral of your narrow line of sight. Never concerned with fame, fortune, or other such fickle facades, Lindsay picks and strains away his pains for himself and no one else. If you happen to see him perform and by chance lend him an ear, you might just surrender your ego to the painful honesty of his gravelly voice. His music is like first time feelings of life, love, and regret all flooding back to you. Pangs of memories buried in the dust become bared again to your conscious, impossible to ignore as torrents of bittersweet melodies soak you to the bone. Now whether you choose to listen and feel the moment or not is your choice alone. Like the shadows of time forgotten and ignored he’ll always be a sillhouette on a dimly lit stage, just in earshot, as he plays the score to all of your unfolding tragedies.
Since his inception as a solo artist in mid-2005 Lindsay has recorded two EP’s and twice toured North America, UK and Europe, including showcase performances at Berlin Popkomm '06 and NXNE '07 in Toronto.
The debut album 'VARNING' to be recorded end of May with a scheduled release by end of 2008.
