Band Members: I've been writing songs ever since I picked up a guitar over ten years ago but have just recently started showcasing my own material. I've been playing in bands and at live venues for over ten years. The music all began when as an adolesent teenagers with too much time and weed on my hands came up with the idea to be a little more productive with mine and my friends time. This led to Chris hodgskin buying a drum kit and myself a bass guitar. As our musicianship incresed so did the number of musicaians and stoners coming to the lock up which led to a local scene in itself and the formation of "Good Vibes". Despite the councils best efforts to shut us down we endevoured and new music was born!!! Soon after that I was blessed and cursed with a lottery win of over 100k which led me in different directions both musically and in life. traveling, attempted uni-ing, gigging and festival going were all predominent features in the coming years and I eventually landed in Cambridge with a large bump! I started a music course at APU and aquired the knowledge to record my music on a computer studio set up. Since then I've never looked back and have written 100's of songs! Recently aside from the "New Dynamics" which keeps me ever busy I've been recording at vertical Rooms with Pete Brazier and have come up with some innovative dance/guit shit which we're looking to release quite soon on vinyl. I'll keep you posted on that but due to copywright reasons I'm unable to put that material up on any website at this moment in time. The band I'm playing in at the moment is the "new dynamics" which can be found on here by looking in my friends or tapping www.myspace.com/newdynamics. The new dynamics was set up by Alex Harris who is also a recognised solo artist in his own right (can be found in my friends) and consists of Russ Fletcher on lead guit, Owen Stark on Keyboards, and Phil Lee on drums. Check the myspace site for upcoming gigs (winners of the 2006 red stripe battle of the bands competition and favourites of Radio Cambridgeshire! Etc My life consists of eating, drinking, breathing and sleeping with either mine or others music and thats way I love it!! MUSIC IS LIFE
