Eighty Nine Eighty
EIGHTY NINE EIGHTY WAS A STUDIO BAND THAT RAN FOR FIVE MONTHS IN 2004. WE PLAYED A FEW GIG'S AND HAD A SHITLOAD OF LAUGHS, MOST OF THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS HAVE BEEN LOST DUE TO HARDWARE "COCK UP'S", BUT IM SURE ONE DAY I WILL RE-RECORD THE BEST ONES. EIGHTY NINE EIGHTY HAS NOW BECOME MY OWN PERSONNAL MUSICAL "PERSONA" SO TO SPEAK.I WRITE, PLAY AND RECORD ALL MY OWN STUFF FROM MY OWN D.I.Y STUDIO HERE IN EAST YORKSIHRE, ENGLAND
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
EIGHTY NINE EIGHTY WAS A STUDIO BAND THAT RAN FOR FIVE MONTHS IN 2004. WE PLAYED A FEW GIG'S AND HAD A SHITLOAD OF LAUGHS, MOST OF THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS HAVE BEEN LOST DUE TO HARDWARE FUCK UP'S, BUT IM SURE ONE DAY WHEN I CAN BE ARSED I WILL RE-RECORD THE BEST ONES. EIGHTY NINE EIGHTY HAS NOW BECOME MY OWN PERSONNAL MUSICAL "PERSONA" SO TO SPEAK. ON THIS PAGE YOU WILL FIND MONTHLY UPDATES OF MY NEW TUNES, OR WRITTEN RANTS. IM LOOKING FORWARD TO FINDING OUT WHAT THE REST OF THE WORLD THINKS, IM SURE IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY INTERESTING ADVENTURE.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
IM NOT PLAYING ANY OF MY OWN STUFF LIVE AT THE MOMENT BUT I DONT REALLY MIND WHERE I PLAY, I GO IN EXTREAMES ONE MINUTE I LIKE PLAYING OUTDOORS TO 100'S THEN I FIND MY SELF CRAVING FOR THE CRAMPED SWEATY CLUB GIGS LOL!
