Paul is largely recognised from the Australian Led Zeppelin shows Zep Boys guitarist from 91 98. Most recently the conceiver/manager and guitarist for the Australian G3 Show. Paul emulated the Yngwie Malmsteen portion of the show as his performance.
Between the years 2004 and 2007, Paul wrote, performed and managed a few projects involving essentially the same compliment of musicians. This eventually turned out to be the line up of the band that recorded the album.-Intraspection Peter Nikolic Keyboards, Regan Burgess Bass and Mitch Willson Drums, these guys are the nucleus of musicians that is the band. Paul sort the aid of talented musicians like: Jennifer Degrassis vocals on Black Memory with Rohan Powell in harmony with the lyrical writing assistance of Craig MacDonald on Tearing Down The Walls.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We rise from Adelaide in South Australia - Australia. There are not many gigs for us to play here and it just ends up costing with no advantage unfortunately. We love to play live!!!! We just have aproblem with being the wrong type of band in the wrong country in the wrong hemisphere. This however has not detered us from doing what we love, our passion is alot stronger than our disposition. That is - writing, rehearsing and recording.
