   About Andy Skellam
..Myspace Layout Generator-Layoutgen.com
..I have long fingers on both hands, and long nails on my right hand. The fingers on my right hand pluck the strings whilst the ones on the left press the frets in various random shapes. The right hand looks like a spider (with a few legs missing) scurrying very fast but not actually moving, like in an old fashioned cartoon. The left hand looks like an octopus (with a few legs missing) doing an expressive kind of modern dance or performance art to try and impress a potential mate. I sing about all kinds of things; stray dogs, ruins, tidal waves, many things that live or drown in the sea, heartbreak, ghosts. I have an e.p and an album, both of which you can own for a very reasonable price - just send me a message if your interested. I'm currently spending some time hiding away in my attic to record the next album on an old reel to reel tape machine, many people have tried to dissuade me from doing this saying that digital is easier and the sound quality is better, but I think they're wrong. I can make it work, I am stubborn as a mule!

Hey!

We realise how this is quite obviously automated and you will probably consider it as spam and ignore it.. but if you are feeling the need for a some fresh new music please visit our page and give our new EP a listen. We've worked really hard on it and had some excellent feedback so far and would love to hear what you guys think.

"Exciting, Striding and assured. It has an energy reminiscant of everything that was good about the Klaxons debut album.." - BBC Radio Bristol.

"The overall sound echoes that of Bloc Party but with great conviction and sophistication. Go see them live if you can." - iTunes review.

It's also available to buy through our website and itunes if you really do like it.

Yup Barcelona, I play in a band called Gadjo; blah blah blah blah/gadjomusica. I'd love to do a Cd swap, but A) I dont really have a cd, these songs are rough things ive done in my bedroom and B) Im about to leave Barcelona for most of the summer so there is about to be no address. Have you got lots of plans for the summer?

It went down the road and turned into a field, silly. We've met at places like farmfest and the west country, don't tell anyone but my real name is George, a friend of Robs and Lauras. How are you? Still love your music.
