The word "Band" is a little overstated - since in reality its only me. I played for many years in rock bands but eventualy had to give it all up when marriage, children and the need to pay the mortgage took precedence. I always continued playing at home - much to my wife's annoyance. A couple of years ago I bought a digital recorder and have never regretted it.
Why this name?
Simple - its my name!
Do you play live?
Not since about 1988. Last gigs were in pubs/clubs in and around London with a band called Aardvark and no Money. Pretty terrible name but apt if nothing else.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think that it is great that sites like this exist. It provides a potentially wide audience for independant artists.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
MMMMMM! Well I suppose - if they asked me really nicely.......
Band History:
I've played in loads of bands but I can't summon up the enthusiasm to list them now.
Your influences?
Kansas, Jethro Tull, Dream Theater, Satriani, Steve Morse, Steve Vai, Deep Purple - not necessarily in this order.
Favorite spot?
London - but I am glad I moved 70 miles away.
Equipment used:
BR1600cd hard disc recorder
Fender, Ovation and Yamaha guitars
Roland Fantom Xa & Juno 60 polysynths
Yamaha Motif XS7 and electric piano
Roland GR20 guitar synth
Vox Tonelabs amp modeller
I had better stop now before the wife works out how much I have spent.
Anything else...?
Hope you like the music! If you do, I have a CD containing an hours worth of original music available now! Send me an email for details. You know it makes sense!
