Heroes
hero's in the music world i'd have to say ozzy as he has been through hell and back, kurt cobain so misunderstood, in the real world ...lol...
i will say anyone who has a disability and doesnt let it get the better of them, who rise heads and shoulders above able-bodied people...and also my nephew who is serving in the army in iraq.....makes all his family proud...finally my true hero and soul-mate.. karen.... my wife who i love, i would be nothing without her "your all i need"(motley crue)xxx
About me: to pay for tickets to all my gigs at the pier / or any other venue where tickets are required please use paypal. please add £1.25 for handling costs.
i like all good rock music from punk to metal to emo, basically if it's good i like it.
ive seen well over 2,000 bands live from ozzy/black sabbath to my chemical romance... guns n roses to slipknot... marilyn manson to placebo... metallica to funeral for a friend...
riffs promotion are the main metal promoter for the matrix club in grimsby. i run riffs with my wife karen (mrs riffs) lol .
WE have had the pleasure to put on some amazing bands there including..
ENTER SHIKARI, GREAT WHITE, WHITE LION, HOUSE OF LORDS, KIP WINGER, JOEY BELLADONNA (ANTHRAX) VAIN, DESREVES TO DIE, ETHEREAL, DEAD BUT STILL DREAMING, STARS OVER BROADWAY, SECRETLY SOULMATES, FALLEN FEW, BURIED BY GRACE, EMBERS RISE, FOR LOVE AND HATE, BARNINE, KOOPA, THE AUTHENTICS, FIRST BORN, THE DECEASED REMAINS, CURE FOR NECROSIS, THE DEPARTED, MY GIRL SLEEPS, IN SO FAR, THE ARCHETYPE FALLS, THRONE OF PESTILENCE, EXIT AVENUE, TRIPPED AND FALLING, THREE YEARS HIDING, UNTIL NOON,LEADEN, BLAKFISH, + LOADS MORE
we do not do this for the money, hell it's not about that is it. "IT'S ABOUT THE BANDS"
we try to bring great up n coming bands to grimsby. then we put on some local support bands. this then gives them the chance to meet and play with bands they want to be like . if they are lucky and impress the main band they may get chance to play elsewhere in the country with them. payment may not always be great but there is always payment of some sort to support bands. my priority has been and always will be.." the main band " who usually travel some way to come and play. "the sound guy" who can make or break a gig with his skills.
as local bands that have played for us in the past can verify we always give encouragement to the local scene, buried by grace are one such local band who we helped to find someone to record a decent demo cd with, the end product is on their myspace page for all to hear..."it's amazing guy's"
not everyone agree's with the way we do things but everyone who has played for us are happy to play for us again ..... so we think that speaks for itself..
checkout or calender for coming gigs .
i go all over the country to see bands. i love metallica, i saw them in the States supporting ozzy back in 1986.
my biggest regret is not seeing nirvana live.
i've been on tour with seb bach (skid row) and vain (great 80's rock band) selling t-shirts and cd's.
I'm the manager of local band, outta line you can check them out on www.myspace.com/outtalineofficial.
Who I'd like to meet: anyone who wants to have their band play at the matrix in grimsby, who come under metal/ rock/emo/punk./screamer. if you get in touch or send a cd so i can hear what you sound like bio photo etc. i can get news paper coverage and posters sorted, gigs arranged.
