I am an acoustic/experimental musician who likes to collaborate with other people. I have many influences that range from Mogwai to Depth Charge and Jimi Hendrix to Can.
Why this name?
I spent sometime in arcades when I should have been at school and it is a great track from Jellicoe.
Do you play live?
I play wherever I go. It may be at the train station, the bus stop, in the park, at parties and in my over-grown garden.
I've also played in bars, festivals and at Manchester's Life Cafe as representative of my local college.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Without the internet or MP3's, I wouldn't have a chance to get my music heard on Soundclick. So yes, it's invaluable!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I'm a purist at heart and I would rather go independent!
Band History:
I have been in a Bluegrass/Folk band where I played the tea-chest bass. Played guitar in a sonic/experimental band, played within the now defunct Arcade Superheroes and now I'm going it alone, for the time being.
I also play bass in a Psychedelic Folk Blues band...
Your influences?
I like guitar music such as Mogwai, Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett, Nick Drake, Donovan, The Groundhogs, The Aphex Twin, The Damned, Depth Charge, Pulp, The Pooh Sticks, Radiohead, The Stone Roses, Primal Scream and The Velvet Underground. I also like to listen to Led Zepplin, watching The Simpsons, all kinds of folk/ambient/hip hop and pyschedelica.
Favorite spot?
Sat on top of Pendle Hill with some friends, beers and guitars!
