About Me

General layabout (artist) I've spent a lifetime perfecting it!. I'm the Psychedelic Warlord as the 80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster called me but as I mention in my headline, this warlord needs to put new batteries in his toy laser guns. I'm a fully signed up member of the band Chicken Lips who's 3rd album "making Faces" was released this year and went out to Japan to promote it (which was nice. Been collaborating with Dean and Andy (aka chicken Lips) for 10 years now! 8n| me and Dean started with a band called PsychedeliaSmith which ended up being called The Airwaves, working with Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim )releasing the album Infomaniac(finally!) in 2002 after 5 years of duff record deals. (...mmm gotta love the industry) recently been working in TV and currently working as a dialogue coach in the movie business with occasional bit parts. Just finished a film called "Heart of the Earth" which will be out sometime at the beginning 2007. Im off in September to work on a horror flick then some comedy drama next year. In between all this I should hopefully be starting work on the next chicken Lips album. Living in Madrid as the weather is rather good compared to Blightey. (update) Its a shit bussiness....you'll find out ;P

My Interests

being happy

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interesting...its all good.

Check out some of my tunes over the years on my player under "Jonny's Jukebox" (apart from the damned which I uploaded coz I like that tune) theres some stuff from "Infomaniac" by "Airwaves" Available at Amazon for next to nothing (By the way I hated the artwork. I had something soo much better than this but..hey ho..record labels :..)

Heres a link to "Chicken Lips" "making faces" album. You can find a couple of tunes in my playlist or link to their myspace from my friends list

Other stuff on here is Demo tunes for another project called "the Creepers" which was a garage/punk thing and unfortunatly let down by the rest of the band we had to shelve it. (i forgive em now tho)
Also most of the rest of the tunes come from what was going to be PsychedeliaSmiths 2'nd LP demo tunes from around 2000/2002 All a bit rough and ready but criticize away folks ;)
Oh yeah and last but not least; Got a tune on an Ad out in the States for Miller Genuine draft. Click the piccy and it will take you to the tune and you can even see the ad

You can also select some videos I made as well as tunes in this player ;) ..

Sad Month for music
