TWEED was an orphan. Named after the TWEED River on the border of Queensland & New South Wales, he was found abandoned wrapped in a Beatles shirt and clutching an ipod. He seemed unfazed and quiet as he lay there on the muddy banks of the river. He was raised in a hippy commune in Nimbin and was exposed to music before he could even talk. It wasn't long before he was writing poetry and playing guitar with his new family. But something was missing. He was to be destined for something more. He had something to say, something that was important. He set sail to the UK where it was rumoured his mother was a con woman. She would elegantly persuade couples to part with large sums of money for non-existant future fortunes. Although desperately wanting to meet his mother, TWEED continued to persue his own path. It was a song that he'd written about a heated arguement with his then girlfriend, that pricked the ears of Artie Jones, a reformed alcoholic who was now working for STUCK UP Records. Jones heard "I RAN YOU DOWN" at a bar in Soho and freaked out. With lyrics like "My hands tight on the steering wheel, I lined you up with a tonne of steel" Jones knew this was no ordinary artist. These were real stories! This guy ran his fuckin girlfriend down in the car!! His debut album "THE POWER OF SILENCE" is available for purchase on itunes. His 2nd Album (WHEN I WAS A SOLDIER) is also available on itunes. TWEED is bold and impressive!
