About Me

The Damned Gentlemen's Social Club

Having attempted to get a band together for an awfully long time only to not get any where at all due to an ironic lack of social skills. The Damned Gentlemen's Social Club came into being purely as a release for the ideas of it's creatively frustrated founder, and only member (making club meets tiresome affairs) - me.

Although I am man named Andy, I can often be found impersonating any anyone other than myself, and badly. Namely Mick Jagger, Morrissey, and the entire line up of electro pop pioneers New Order, but not all at once. That'd just be stupid. In addition to these guises, from time to time I prefer adopting the personality of a robot, a dog, a zombie and on very rare occasions a penguin. It's very possible I'm just a bit of a silly sod with far too much time to himself.

Incidentally, I now play bass regularly with Analogue Consumption . A band made up of dead-beat tramps, winos, and hard-living crack-whores. Er, ish.

They're My Songs

If anybody wants to use them for anything, please, let me know and ask first. It's polite. I don't bite or anything (er, well, on occasion, but it's nothing you need to read about here) and I'll most likely say "yes" due to being a thoroughly nice chap.

Latest News

Currently, as I have a slightly better understanding of what I'm actually doing having read up on my production, I shall be remixing several of the old songs, as well as rerecording vocals. My lyric writing ability always seems to slow down the recording process. Hopefully I should have something to show for my efforts soon.
