Secret Killer of Names is an umbrella for Lloyd Barrett and the varied mutations elicited from his analog and digital composition. Lloyd was born in rural East Anglia, UK and had a lovely time...until he was transported for the term of his natural life to the hellish colonies!
It was here however that he met many talented musical friends without which he would likely be constructing stuff from static only. They are listed in the Members area and it is to their credit mainly that Lloyd has managed to scrape together more than a few interesting minutes worth of joy from the proceeds of various sonic engagements.
While not making, downloading, buying, trading, or listening to sound Lloyd is an avant-film nerd buffing with the kind of exploitative nasty crap or painfully pretentious art wank that Trash Video purveys and from whence he sometimes works. He also lectures in digital audio, communication and multimedia and co-hosts the Audiopollen weekly experimental show on 4ZZZ with Joel Stern.
For those that care SKON edited his profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

The Scroungers sound like punk was always supposed to, but rarely did; urgent, raw and dripping with sardonic anger. The fact that the Scroungers (a solo home recording project) grew partially out of Macka's growing dissatisfaction the Melbourne punk scene of the early 1990s is somewhat ironic. Working in relative isolation and never performing live, Macka recorded a large body of work that is arguably the rawest, high-octane, politically and socially incisive punk rock the country has ever produced. Yet the Scroungers remain unknown to all but a few.
Bored, Pissed and Agro: 1991-1997 reproduces the best moments from the eleven Scroungers releases (ten cassettes and one split 7") during these years when the project was active. Download it from Shame File Music, with full liner notes from Clinton Green
