About Me

I play in these bands: I contribute to and support: Me? I'm Chris. I'm a pretty damn happy person... no hallucinogenic drugs required. I have an appreciation for beer, not just a taste or a need to get drunk. I have a spiritual connection with the elements which overwhelms and humbles me. I'll be a little kid my whole life. Love a good feed and a movie or record to relax, but always keen to hit the swill with the boys. Been a musician since about 96, playing in bands from pretty much day one. I've recently joined the growing list of cancer survivors and I feel I'm a better person for the experience. For a crust I work as an employment consultant. I have an appreciation for life, friendship and everything I have been given and shown along the way. I take nothing for granted. I'm a friendly person who likes nothing more than to laugh and share fun times, so don't be shy to say hi if you see me...
Feel free to add me to your MSN too, but don't bother if you're not going to actually use it... [email protected]

My Interests

Playing/listening to music, drinking beer, surfing, watching movies, AFL footy, reading, anything outside of work really.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone, whether their interests are the same as mine or not. I'm easy to get along with. Split a beer with me anytime. I'm always keen to meet new and interesting people.

Music:

The list is seriously endless...
I listen to everything from jazz to the most extreme black and death metal. I'd say my interests lie in the obscure areas of music. I tend to like things no one else really does. My preferences lie in thrash metal, folk, jazz and technical death metal. I hate electronic music and I'll admit I'm not a fan of boring breakdowns even though I'm very passionate about heavy music.

Movies:

I dig movies. End of story. Especially horror, thriller and comedy. Serial killer documentaries as well. Pretty much anything that doesn't suck.

Television:

Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, Scrubs, Boston Legal and anything on the Crime Channel. Best channel ever.

Books:

American Psycho, Motley Crue - The Dirt, (auto)biographies, anything by Edgar Allen Poe, true crime, music history, classic literature, various poetry.

Heroes:

My departed mates over all the years. Rest forever in your world of calm. Have a Jack and coke waiting for me Damo. I'll bring the new tunes.
