AAAAAAAAARGH! It's me!

About Me

Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, sometimes choleric, sometimes sad, sometimes psycho, sometimes stupid... but always 100% me. I'm an (aging) part-time rock star (harf harf), I love music, good movies, good books and good whiskey (most preferably Islay)... and I love my wife who I'm happily married to since April 30th, 2002. The most wonderful person in the world!
I started my goth rock band Sepulcrum Mentis 16 years ago (and still going...) and have been hooked on playing music and singing ever since. Right now, I am active in the following projects/bands:
- Sepulcrum Mentis (see our Myspace-profile!)
- Death Valentine (old school sleaze rock)
- The Titty Twisters (my cover band with a slightly different edge... www.the-titty-twisters.com)
- Dionys (prog metal interpetations of poetry by Goethe and Schiller - a good outlet for my classical voice training ;-))

My Interests

Music (playing and listening), movies, books, technology, computers, high end music equipment, travelling, languages ... and in learning new things every day.

I'd like to meet:

Old friends, other bands... and generally nice and friendly people interested in what I do. I do not seek stalkers or romance ... I am perfectly happy with my life, thank you!
