Influences
Radio sounds of pulsars, birdsong, trams, old computers, electricity substations, oh, you know.
And this chap:
Hop Man Jr brings you nauseating noise resulting from dizzying bouts of insomnia, as exemplified in the songs above. As well as this, I'm lucky enough to be part of the following Mancunian institutions;
Synth, organ and noises with the mighty GNOD. Head over to the MySpace, have a listen, check the vids and get yourself some vinyl, why dont ya?
Also, Country Joe and Der Fisch bring you the finest talent from everywhere and the greatest records from everywhen, respectively. All this every other Tuesday at Trof, Landcross Rd (next to Queen Of Hearts), Fallowfield.
Keep an eye on my gigs box on this page for shows and events from all of the above and hopefully I'll see you at one thing or the other!

Trespassers William (Seattle, US) are the duo of Matt Brown and Anna-Lynne Williams. "Subliminally sublime and pragmatically perfect, you would have to possess an ashtray for a heart not to feel this coursing through your soul" (DSD Music Magazine). A new EP, The Natural Order of Things, is set to be released on Gizeh Records. They will make a church performance with special guests.
Glissando (Sheffield, UK) “have the kind of atmosphere that can captivate and relax in equal measure- never before has tranquillity sounded so urgent. While track lengths of over 10 minutes may fail to hold the attention of the ADHD sufferers among us, with patience it plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want to wake up from." NME
