What you are listening to on this page is the musical intro to my new album. It's in early stages but there will be more to come! Ye ha! About me, well I'm 31. Married to the best lady in the world! Have spent most of my life working in the music business, apart from the last few years where I have worked in the oil industry. As a subversive (disclaimer)!!!! I played in a punk rock band called "Brubeck" for many years in New Zealand. Had some releases, more known is "The Myoclonic Twitch" through Shock/BMG/SONY. We shared the stage with the likes of The Offspring, The Living End, Fugazi, Strung Out, Hot Water Music, Less Than Jake, Sprung Monkey, Ten Foot Pole, Jebediah, The Ataris, Millencolin, No Fun At All, SNFU, Guttermouth, Frenzal Rhomb, Flesh Device, The Vandals, etc, etc. I have also done crew work here in New Zealand for NOFX, Lag Wagon, Sick Of It All & The Wellington Music Awards. I am in the middle of production on my new album. This new project of mine is under the name "The Carbon Chain". Nothing like Brubeck or punk related in any way what so ever. This has piano, cello and still rocks out. I am playing every instrument on the album except for having a few guests on lead and vocals. My megalomania project you could say. I guess it can be described as sounding similar to The Lemonheads dancing with The Kinks, throw in a bit of shoegazing, then some driving lightly gained guitars, but that's only after a dash of influence from kiwi classics The Dudes & brit mods Gerry & The Pacemakers. So it also rocks out! I have just constructed my own little home studio to record the album. I'm calling it Lemon Lime Studio.
The album is being paid for my own new label. Lemon Lime Recordings. Created to give myself freedom to record what ever the hell I like, then to work with other labels as far as representation taking away their financial investment & risk at the recording end of the process.
I will post some songs when completed for your listening pleasure! Take a look at some old photo's below from the Brubeck days. Use the buttons to control speed! One in there of Limo singing Skinny with me! Instead he changed the lyrics to Fatso! .... Enjoy...
