My name Chris Hopgood and I am one half of an acoustic duo called Acousticat (pls check out our soundclick page), aswell as a lead guitarist, mandolin and banjo player in an death western country punk band. This page is for my stuff, my songs, my music, also some of my bands stuff, and something I have wanted to get out for a while. Hope you enjoy. Chris
Why this name?
Its my name.
Do you play live?
I play live most weekends in various bands and i love it. Highlights of last year were playing glastonbury festival and supporting shane McGowan with the death western band 'Lady Winwoods Maggot'.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Not sure, still waiting to find out.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Maybe, if the deal was right.
Band History:
I have been playing guitar since about 1994 and in that time I have played in punk, jazz, rock, blues, folk, funk and country bands. All of which have effected my style in many ways, although my first loves are blues and jazz. I love playing and love playing with and meeting other musicians. Its the way to learn.
Your influences?
Steve Earle, Roy Harper, Ben Harper, Eric Bibb, Al Di Meola, Hendrix, the blues - i.e. Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker etc. Kelly Joe Phelps, Alice in Chains, Gov't Mule and more.
Favorite spot?
Any field big enough so as to have nothing to do except lie back relax and play music.
Equipment used:
Cubase SX (looks like they may have got it right this time) and Fender and Takamine guitars.
Anything else...?
Can't think of anything right now but may come back to this bit.
