The Feckers ft Yohei Eto - Far From Done

The Feckers

It's all about the music - if you like it riff-laden, soulful and with content that will make you take notice - and not just 3 min pop ditties - then The Fecker

The Feckers was the brainchild of songwriters/recording artists Chris Szkup and Richard Anderson. Over the years they had compiled a list of songs that they had stashed away in the archives  regrettably (or not so much now) those songs never got to see the light of day in a finished format.
 
Chris had just released his debut solo a...

I Wasn't Looking

Mathew S

A solo effort here. All sorts. Blues, Rock, Jazz, bit Country too sometimes. Experimental even. Not so much in the past but I grew up a bit.

I'm just a muso who is passionate about music. I love performing and writing and would do this full time if it paid the bills. (Dammed reality) I play Bass mainly but do a bit of playing around on guitar as well. 
I play live in two bands. Quadraphonic, which is a covers band with a few originals and Green Room which is a rock 70s style covers band...

Skinny the Fish

Dr Hoos

Delta Blues. Original blues with a bit of Kiwi thrown in

Dr Hoos Blues Band was formed as an excuse for some mates to jam. After a lot of jamming with various musos the line up got solid. We did a gig at a surf club and that was that. We wanted to play even more. A gig here and a gig there got us out there and we lasted three years before events changed and the band sadly, folded up. There is another band in the pipeline with a similar Delta blues style on the way. And then some.
