Read them when I have to, to learn things from them.
Liked The Hobbit, 1984 and Animal Farm before I discovered the guitar and other more exciting things to do.
Heroes
"Johnny Marr- this young guitar hero, the George Best of independent music, at a time when such a craft was unfashionably vilified outside the big hair arena of heavy metal- stood and played with such mastery and confidence and sheer style that it was hard to believe it all chimed forth from him alone."

Hailing from Edinburgh, Okker are a four piece signed to American label, Radio Down.
Sounding like anywhere from Fugazi, At the Drive in to Sonic Youth and Don Cabellero, these guys use stop-start rythmns with fractured vocals and little splashes of melody to draw you in
I was blethering tonnes of rubbish at you last night, if my memory is telling me truths. Hope your ears didn't take too much of a bashing! Fat Sams; what a place! xo.

I'm playing my other Schecter mainly which is a Hollywood Classic, and it has Seymour Duncan SH-11/SH-1N if that is any use?
Well I heard this band at one of our gigs and the guitarists tone was amazing. I don't know what pedals I should buy to create a rockin lead sound so that my solo's really stand out and all the notes are clear sort of similar to Synyster he has a nice sound. You still doing the football?

Phil Kieran is switching gears again. After three years of almost total dedication to his critically acclaimed Alloy Mental project ( www.myspace.com/alloymental), the Belfast DJ and producer is back to doing what he does best, making his own distinctive brand of dance music. Kieran has dug out the old techno gems , reflected on early influences like Joy Division and Aphex Twin, tipped his hat to newcomers like Marc Houle and Audion, and set to work on producing a catalogue of sure-fire dancefloor killers, for offer over the coming months. Last year Phil brought us ’Skyhook’ on Novamute and hooked up with Cocoon to release ‘I think I’m a monster’. Following both tracks widespread success the German label is also set to unleash ’Missp’ in March 08. Recent remix work includes ‘Hold my hand’ for UNKLE and the upcoming ‘Dancing Bears’ for Roel H, which is set to be massive.
