About Me


This profile was edited with Thomas' Myspace Editor V3.2b
I’m Guss. Or Gusstav or lots of other nicknames and I occasionally go by my full Christian name of Angus if in a formal setting.
Im 27 and i really don't act my age. well i sometimes do when i'm at work. I work as an Artworker/Graphic Designer in a very stuffy office in Edinburgh.
When i'm not doing that I play in bands. I'm currently the dickhead who shouts for a tech metal/hardcore band called Friday Night Gunfight. Ive also been in bands called IX, Errata and Attack the Hive where i played bass and i occasionally do some shouting for a band called Brickshithouse.
And when I get a free minute I go to gigs. As many as I can. I also like to film stuff and take pictures of things.
Ive thought about doing a zine for ages but i never have time. I have loads of stuff that I don't have time for but it's cool tho.
I'm a bit of a grumpy bastard in all honesty and i'm rubbish in social situations unless i'm smashed which I don't do that often.
I can also do artwork for bands. There is a blog about this so read that first before you message me.If you intend to add me please message me first. In all honesty I probably wont add you unless I know you. If you are a band I wouldn't bother. I probably won't like you.

My Interests

Music, Playing Gigs, Playing Bass, Fender basses, Ampeg Amps, Going to gigs, Photography, Design, Listening to music, Football, Rugby, Mountain Biking, Darts, Driving, F1
