Heroes
You should be your own hero, unfortunately, I'm not, so... Harold Von Braunhut
About me:
I used to be surrounded by the hoards of Babel, towering terrors in Pink Lipstick and Louis Vuitton, tottering torments in Double-D cups and 4 inch heels. Paparrazzi Dear Readers...
Oh, the humanity.
But now I live an existence of perpetual motion... Continously re-newing my vows of knowledge and creation!
And going to strip bars.
My mother is convinced I was an immaculate conception and I have extrapolated from that that I am the daughter of god and thus the second coming. Be it as it may that she has spent 2 turns in mental institutions for LSD abuse, who can say she's wrong? And if she's right.. don't you want me to like you?
I put on gigs and do some amature photography.You can check out some of my portfolio by clicking on the picture below... My website is: www.bigcityredneck.co.uk

Who I'd like to meet: Retards, blow-hards and all sorts of interlopers, thick boys, smart boys and all kinds of junkie-dopers, cocksuckers, asslickers and every type of bigger-hoper, whoever didn't make it past 16....

is it completely SICK i like Metro Stations new # 1 song? I think so. Anything to do with Hannah Montana beguiles me. anyway, see you in october...no watching bad movies tho, I can do that in Canada. re:repoman & tequila.
I'm always planning to go over there, but every time I save up something happens. So far it looks like i'll be heading over sometime either next year or this winter. It all depends on how well the rugby goes. Who would have thought?

This is our first 93 Feat East gig and we’re happy to be gracing this illustrious stage so look out for special door price offers a few days before the gig…
wow a not so average achievement congrats and all that jahoo, I do have issues with non musicians being critics, i feel you have to of paid some dues to tell a band they suck ( on a public platform like a newspaper ) but if I had to trust anyone to do so and be right, I'd choose you.

Buffalo Bar June 19th £6 on the door… 8.30pm till they kick us out…
Mama Shamone http://www. myspace. com/mamashamone “Put Mama Shamone on at any venue and they are likely to take the roof off, this was one of the best live shows I’ve seen in years - certainly one of the best in London. In my opinion these guys are destined for greatness, it felt like I was witnessing history being shaped-something was just so right about what they were doing up there.” Vibe Bar
We Yes You No www. myspace. com/weyesyouno “We Yes You No sing about the end of the world, the end of everything. But in an apocalypse that would sound like this I would buy god’s last EP” – Big City Redneck
Language http://www. myspace. com/languageuk “"The verbosity of funk, the poetic twang of intelligent pop. The bridge between Franz Ferdinand and Smashing Pumpkins perhaps" – Bugbear
& what is my Rosie doing these days? being bad & perverse I HOPE.
I miss you.
laughing on the couch while watching that strange Bookie movie while madeline's ugly paintings stirred up a shitload of ugly. Tequila drives people to insane levels. Shut the power off, lock doors, point fingers and maybe that guy Sam from Texas will buy you some sexy ginch on your date?
Big City Redneck Presents the third installment of our ongoing series of showcases for up and coming swellegant, magnificent and downright stupendous bands on Thursday April 17th (this thursday!!) at the Buffalo Bar in Islington.
