I play with Transystem V with Dave Treganna, Keef Sparrow and Jez Miller. Great!!! Check it out! There's a cool video in there... more songs to come soon!! I'm also playing some acoustic stuff with Rook , really cool songs that Rook's written and we perform together. I also recently wrote some more stuff with Izzy Stradlin...
I worked for Hanoi Rocks from 1980 (?) and by 1981 was playing with Problems? in Finland. I also formed a band called Piss Boys with some of my band mates about 1982. I moved to UK to work with Hanoi January 1983 and pretty much toured the world with them for 3 years till Razzle's tragic death in a car accident in LA 1985 and Hanoi's tour in Poland early 1986. Razzle's death was a waste that still saddens me to today.
Back in London I joined Cherry Bomz as a bass player, After a while I was replaced by Dave Tregunna (with whom I have a pleasure of playing now in Transystem V ).
I played guitar with Johnny Thunders around UK in 1985-86...
In 1986 I moved to LA and jammed with a lot of friends like Jimmy Ashhurst (Juju Hounds, Buckcherry) , Marc Ford (Black Crowes), Creig Ross (Lenny Kravitz), Doni Gray (Burning Tree), Michael Doman (Broken Homes), Billy Rowe, Mickey Finn (Jetboy), Izzy Stradlin (Guns'n'Roses) and many more and when Sami Yaffa (Hanoi Rocks, Jetboy, Mad Juana, New York Dolls) moved to LA and joined Jetboy, we formed a jam band called Stronzo with Marc, Jimmy, Greig, Doni, Mickey and a number of other great players... Only did a handfull of shows but they were great.
I played with Arthur Kane from New York Dolls in 1986.
I wrote Right Next Door To Hell with Izzy Stradlin and Axl Rose. On Use Your Illusion part I.
In 1988 Nasty Suicide (Hanoi Rocks, Cherry Bombz) moved to LA. We formed Cheap And Nasty, with which I moved back to London in 1990, with drummer Les Riggs. Bass player Mike Finn decided to stay in LA and was replaced with Alvin Gibbs, who had just finished a tour with Iggy Pop. Cheap And Nasty were signed to China Records and recorded "Beautiful Disaster" album with them, and later "Cool Talk Injection" album with Pony Canyon, see cheapandnastyband for more on those.
I played a short while with Heavy Metal Kids, Thee Hypnotics, Stuntcocks, René Berg...
I've been playing in Transystem V , with Dave, Keef Sparrow and Jez Miller. Please check our site for a new video and more info.
I did some acoustic recordings with Izzy Stradlin in California in August 2007, two songs ("Box" and "Seems To Me" are out on his new album "fire - the acoustic album" downloadable on iTunes. Had a great time working with Izzy again!! JT Longoria played bass, percussion, as well as recorded the songs.
I've also been working on acoustic stuff with my mate Rook , on his songs!! Check his site out... Excellent stuff!! More about that later!!
Peace
