Elliot House
Elliot House: Vocals and GuitarsBand/artist history
I was born at some point. Then I was here.
I'm fairly self-critical, but loathe external criticism.
My favourite number is 22.Have you performed in front of an audience?The Fighting Cocks every sunday at The Riverside Folk Club.
Occasional other shows with my band (electric) Foxes and Crossbows.
Your musical influences
Neutral Milk Hotel amaze me.
I do love a lot of music though. I guess I'd like to combine my tastes in my songs.
I'd also be nothing without the constant support and guidance that peanut M&Ms, Chilli Heatwave Doritos, Dr. Pepper, Cool Breeze Extra gum and Jack Daniels give me everyday.What equipment do you use?
A mangled, overused Fleetwood acoustic guitar converted from a left handed to right.
There's a hat on the floor; put some money into the new guitar fund.Anything else?
Get an image in your head keep it write it down save it take a mental snapshot and never let it fade on the stairs of a house that cost millions dressed as a power ranger and dancing in that way kids like to dance flashing lights toy guns funny catch phrases you still remember today like a photograph slouched uncomfortable but looking cool chewing gum shirt un-tucked in the corner not doing work dreaming listening to workmen outside in the hedge all alone whilst the other kids play football imagining how great your Christmas present is going to be asleep not because you are tired because you do not want to be awake whilst they are screaming making the others play your games with sticks in your world but you never quite let them in Smokey eating sausages in the garden coated in barbeque clouds of pearly black some milk oozing in and out of breakfast watching cartoons teacher supports Aston Villa staring at the sky is the Earth moving or is it just the clouds can not spell Egypt not allowed a video game Wendy house always the same game always the best game playing families you are the dad donut hunting in the hay best friend in the whole wide world Polo head first in a bowl of steam your chest it clutches your face it sags and tears make it better in the car covered in blood your grandma is a witch hold a finger over the blotch on your face when you go past the girls Star Wars in a cinema Nintendo with your cousins your fish is dead you think Jesus Christ is less interesting than Aladdin at the seaside want it back you want it all back feeling sad because it is gone feeling shit because the future is coming like a punch in the face don’t cry.Admin
