I love music. I'm in love with rock n' roll. The guitar helps to bring songs to me. Sometimes the songs come easily, sometimes not. It makes no difference to me. I'm going to play the guitar anyway.
"Eclectic, dingy, dirty funk clashing with beautiful acoustics and the black humour of a singing Donnie Darko." - The Western Mail
I bash the songs out at home, in the studio or on the stage. It's all the same to me. I'm lucky. I've got a band. It's a good band. We're all good men. We bash things out together.
This is who I am. I looked in the mirror. I made my choice. I'll do this until the day I die. Then I'll be reborn and carry on where I left off. Nobody can stop me. Not even death, not some guy in a uniform, not a pretty lady, not god, not the devil, not even you. I am unstoppable. I am relentless.
"Samba Lucas has been born again as the gang-bang bastard of Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and Hilda Ogden, and he's not afraid to tell you how it feels." - Kruger Magazine
I do not struggle. It is not difficult. I go with the flow. It is not a bad life. It is not hard. Life without music, that would be a struggle. That would be hard.
Sometimes there is no band. There's just me and four walls and a cheap guitar and the rain on the window. That's ok. I've seen a lot of rain. I'm a northerner. I like a drink.
".... a lot better looking than me but still there's an oddness and a quirkiness to this that I'm really drawn to." - Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales
People say things about me and my music. They choose their own words. People enjoy their opinions. So they should. That's their business. I mind my own business. I'm not in show business. I'm not in the music business. I'm in the Samba Lucas business. I do what I like. I'm happy with that. I'm happy with my choice.

Hello, my friend. Another Tankism to brighten your week. Hope it helps :)
Look at life from the perspective of what you have NOW, what you are grateful for NOW. If you continue to look into the PAST as to what you have lost, when you open your PRESENT, you will not like what you get. However, by focusing firmly on where you are directing your FUTURE by thinking on those things which are good and pure and what you do want to happen, as you unfold your PRESENT, you will find the gift that you know you really want. And, it really is that simple. As a wise person once said: If you believe you can't, you're rightif yet if you believe you CAN, you're right. What do you believe? :)
Hey, how goes it? Sorry for slow response, been spending every spare second in studio recording an album of our pop ditties! And if we finish at a normal hour on Thursday, I'll try to pop over to Buffalo. What time you on?
