London based composer, recording artist and occasional lyricist/vocalist, Jack Shirt (aka Christos Fanaras) has self-released two CDR albums on his DIY label Scratch My Back Records, Jack Shirt debut in January 2008 and Silent Beef in January 2009. He is also a member of Mothlite and has performed and recorded as a bassist with Elsa Drake and as a singer, guitarist and drummer with The Thinking People Society. With TTPS he also recorded the Paid For With Tips album in 2005. He gives regular ramshackle performances of his recorded material at various London venues.

ALBUM REVIEWS

"a weird and marvellous sonic adventure through a kaleidoscope of concise and witty musical adventures" HEATHEN HARVEST

"a fantastic collage of everything in the artist's head, all tumbling out and wired-up wrong. This is an album steeped in the experimentalism of Krautrock and really fucked-up folksike, the sorta thing that would get a release in the mid-70s, leaving everyone completely confused, later to become something of a cult classic" ELECTRIC ROULETTE

"a not so healthy dosage of nonsense" SONIC DICE

Hey Christos,

I'm in Brighton for a few weeks, looking for singers. Have you heard any good ones recently? I stuck you on my recommended list, hope it earns you a click or two:
