Far From Beautiful...

About Me

"No, you can't perform here. Nobody's even heard of you. You weirdo." - Whoever's in charge of Newcastle City Hall.
"He's got pretty good talent there" - Captain Wayne, Host of The Mad Music Archive
"Friz, can you turn down your keyboard please? I'm trying to watch Saw." - One of Friz' flatmates.
"Good songs! Shame you're a bit of a c~nt, really" - Friz' biggest fan.

Once, there was a child, and his name was Friz. This child admired musicians and people who could write their own original music. After realising his dream, he purchased himself a keyboard and determined himself to be admired by the world. All he had to do was teach himself the ways of the keyboard, and write the best songs and ballads that the universe had ever seen.
Then he realised all he could play was Seven Nation Army.
Flash forward three years later, and this man was performing live music under the alias "Exactly Midnight". However, the shows were a mix of stand-up comedy and live melodic ballads. He faced a tough decision... to keep going with the serious emotional songs, or to continue with the comedic songs and parodies? After a pancake, he decided to do both.
And this is the end result.
