Dakota Suite

I am a building surrounded by fire.

About Me

Evertonian frontman, started writing songs about personal tragedy and the ups and downs of EFC. People sat up and took notice so we have released several sides of music now. Can't see the real need for anymore music but I keep committing my thoughts to tape so they get released.We rarely play because I can't stand it really, too painful. I do like playing in Europe though its fun.Lots of press coverage from around the world but keeping it fairly low key as I work with offenders and that means more to me that the music unfortunately. Well I guess that 's it really.....

How I made my profile:
I used MyWackoSpace.com 's amazing MySpace Editor .
