I perform solo and collaboratively with a range of outstanding artists.. You will regularly catch me with the Hairy Legged Lentil Eaters as well as a local fun band called "free beer" :) with Ian Bland on bass and Percy Van Staden on drums. I also perform with Cara Malan (the talented violinist) and a range of other artists as and when the situation presents itself.

Steve Vai, Dead Can Dance, Pink Floyd, Tool, Perfect Circle, Tori Amos, Bauhaus, Fields of Nephilim, Led Zepplin, Rachmaninov, AudioSlave, The Doors, Tony Cox, Steve Newman, Nibs Van Der Spuy... etc etc...

Hey! - I've been involved in the music scene for over a decade & was front man & lead guitarist for the Durban band "Stonedhenge" during the 90's. Since then I have performed with a variety of artists / bands at a range of venues and festivals throughout South Africa. I have just finished recording my 2nd solo album entitled "LAMEN"... the mp3's I have posted are a few of the songs from my debut album "TREE OF LIFE" and the latest album "LAMEN" which you can obtain at gigs or by mailing me directly. THE OFFICIAL ALBUM LAUNCH WAS IN MARCH AT SPLASHY FEN 2008 and it was awesome!! One of songs was selected to be on the 2008 splashy CD (what an honour!). CATCH ME AT THE 2009 SPLASHY FEN MUSIC FESTIVAL (20 YEAR CELEBRATION!!!) WHERE I WILL BE RELEASING MY 2ND SOLO ALBUM "LAMEN"... IT PROMISES TO BE A WORTHY PROGRESSION FROM MY FIRST ALBUM "TREE OF LIFE." If you are interested in purcashing an album, mail me and we can discuss it further. Right now, they are only available at gigs but we are looking into a possible record deal... so watch this space! Furthermore :).. I am the person who promotes and arranges the successfull Newcastle Musicians Club in Northern KZN... We host live up & coming acts as well as established acts on a monthly basis. The turn-outs are always great and the support incredible so if you are a band / solo artist that wants exposure in a different part of SA, then contact me :)Okay, ive waffled enough! :)
Naturally me dear... I really enjoyed the lyrics on Lamen today. Have you managed to check out some Garden Of Delight tunes yet? Was listening to the album Dawn yesterday, it's so brilliant. I dont get to listen to as much music as i'd like. I miss working in a cd shop sometimes... ;) i remember you posting that you're going to be doing some gigs sometime, where and when??? blessings

Hi Mr Burns, hope that you had a good birthday the other day and celebrated with a jiddy bout of voting. ;) So glad your Splashy was a good one and that you're getting your new CD out there. :)
Hope you are SURVIVING these crazy economic times! Enjoy our new video "Whiskey Tonight" and stop by our site for a FREE download of the new song. Yes, something for FREE. * * * Cheers!
Hey!! :) Really good to hear from you! I am so pleased it went well for you dood...but with such skill, grace and talent, how could it not ;) yeah! No, not planning any trips to SA at the moment (as much as I would love to come and visit you) so you will have to send it to me...I'll trade you, my new one for your new one. Mine is only released on the 20th so you'll have to wait for it I'm afraid. I'll email you my address asap and you can do the same as I know you moved a while ago and I dont think I have the new address. Keep up the great work bro and I'll speak to you again soon. :) D
Hey Dood...I've been keeping my eye on you...how did the release go? I really want to hear what you've been up to so drop me a line or mail... Take it easy man D
Hello mate, Yer sounding great! Hope all is well in your world and you had a wonderful holiday season. We really enjoyed playing in Ireland recently. Check out the new clip on our site from our Ireland 2007 tour - The Indulgers performing "Trouble With A Capitol T" with Johnny Fean vocalist/guitarist from the legendary Irish band Horslips - one of the original celtic rock bands - in Ennis, Co. Clare Ireland. Have a fantastic new year! Your friends, The Indulgers
Hi I am posting this comment because you are on my friend list.
I run my own free social network ( http://whatsup.everyvisitor.com/lars ) I always wanted to have my own social network on internet and have start it for fun. Now I named my social network whatsup.
It's basically all about where the party is meeting people, chatting, posting blogs, photos, videos and having fun. You can even start your own network and its free.
Dood…they sound great…please send me a copy of the album when its done and mail me your address so I can send you all of mine. Keep it coming Frater Naughtius Maximus. ;) D
Thanks again for helping to get us in there, it went well, it was quite quiet when we played, but we got a good response and sold 19 CDs which I'm happy with. It was our first time, so hopefully Pedro gives us a better slot next time... See you around...
