Why this name?
Erm..... It was given to me at birth
Do you play live?
I play live with my Indie/Folk/Funk singer Nikki Rous at venues across Shropshire and with a female fronted covers band in Telford/Shrewsbury. Also with an indie band called Nineteen52 part time.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Erm... Thumbs up
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure...
Band History:
I started playing bass in a punk/funk band called Stamp when I was 16 years old (much respect to Andy Dorsett, now of Vert). I then went on to play with a slam funk band called Monolith (just as much respect to Joe Ball, Lucky Singh, Russell Green and James Turner).
During my time with Monolith we played various venues across the Midlands including The Little Civic, The Varsity, and loads of fundraising gigs. There's a copy of our old demo available - e-mail nineteen_52@hotmail.com
Your influences?
My main influences are Stuart Zender, Nick Fyffe, Flea, Mark King, Les Claypool, Jaco Pastorius and Marcus Miller......
I love the funk and acid jazz,
Favorite spot?
Emma's lap ;-) oi!oi!
Equipment used:
I use a 300Watt Trace Elliot Bass Head (AH300SMC)
And a G300 Laney 4X12 Bass Cab (L300)
