ABOUT

Hey!
Guitarist first and foremost.
Grew up on Metallica, GnR, then the Grunge scene.
I'ver more recently been teaching myself Classical Spanish/ Flamenco as a challenge and a bit of fun.
Have been in a few bands previously, and have written many songs (and still do so).
Can go with rhythm or lead, also bass, and keys.

Influences

Everything from the dark and ever so serious Tool, to the whimsical and at times, hilarious works of Mike Pattern's many projects. As I mentioned, the Grunge scene was a huge influence. GnR, Metallica, although I listen to them rarely these days. Jane's Addiction, Chilli Peppers, QOTSA, White Stripes...
