About me: Spend the last few years writing music fanzines including Shadders? on me Lungs? (once seen never forgotton due to the ace name from the original Alfie) featuring some of the best bands in the UK. Then mid 2006 I joined the dotcom world and created Shaddersonline.
When not listening to the finest indie guitar noise I like a beer or two and chill out to some sports. Love Football including Manchester City and local boys Doncaster Rovers and a bit of baseball, visiting yankee stadium a few years ago was awesome.. lets go Jeter indeed!

Who I'd like to meet: Already met my all time hero, Colin Bell (hey I was named after the City legend you know!). I'd also like to meet John Lennon - but not yet!!!
We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.
Not too late to get advance tickets for my shows coming up - including two tickets for £5 for my Birmingham gig (3 Nov). And remember I'm playing with Ebb at the ICA in London (9 Nov) - this is a very special performance and it would be great to see you there. /MaJiKer
