Someone mucking about with a pedal in their bedroom.
I make music for my own amusement. This is not a professional project. I've sung in a couple of bands before, and also done backing vocals for some great people. I love singing but can't really play any instruments
Recently I bought a second hand loop station, and have found that I can write and perform songs entirely alone. This gives me complete freedom to write the kind of songs I enjoy. I'm really loving it.
I set up this site, for friends to listen, contact me and download.

The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players with An Axe, Bar Oppo, 22nd September 2008
Decorum presents a last minute tour addition, an intimate performance from The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow players - Monday 22nd of September at Oppo (72 Park Street, Bristol). The Trachtenburgs are a domestic trio who play quirky indie vaudeville pop songs in the key of unironic good, clean fun with one major catch: all the songs carefully rhyming lyrics come from the vintage slide collections they've found at estate or garage sales that accompany their performances.
The next Sonic Sanctuary gig will be on October 11th. That's a Saturday. All ages, £4
The Pump Room @ The Lamb, Trowbridge, BA14 8BN
WHITE HILLS
White Hills (Rocket Recordings) are a trio from Brooklyn, New York. They formed out of the need to forge Space Rock into the 21st Century and with just the right blend of psychedelia and hypnotic grooves, WHITE HILLS weaves in and out of anthemic chants, deep space bleeps and other worldly madness.
A high volume/low frequency sound of grindingly heavy doom & furious rock, gut-wrenching yet ponderous in a hypnotic way, the Brothers Gonga are now joined by Peter Theobalds (ex-Akercocke) on bass and Matt “Team Brick” Williams on vocals. Still damaging eardrums with their fantastic stripped back, stoner blues rock, heavy biting riffs and primal drum beats, the true spirit of British heavy rock lives on in Gonga (Invada Records)
Caricatures, the newish project from members of Mea Culpa, Seerkind and Rose Kemp’s band are a heavy as heck doomy trio with tinges of Earth, Mastadon and Nirvana.
Armed with cello, laptop and a rather stunning voice, a rare solo performance from Chipper (aka Charlotte Nicholls, who among other things spends her time playing for bands such as Portishead, Crippled Black Phoenix, Oxbow, SJ Esau, Mea Culpa, North Sea Navigator and more- the list goes on...) is something not to be missed.
Hooray:) I like the songs. Your songs are amazingly catchy, I'm always humming them at home! Lay another gig soon please...also do you mind sending me your/dan's mobile numbers - I dropped my phone in the bath and lost my numbers (oops). not v well at the moment, but will do a recording of the song I wanted you to sing on and send it next week if that's okay..Ruth x
