"It's not the way I planned"
The Banzai Kid started out making stupid songs on a little tape recorder with his brother and his friends and eventually as he got older felt the urge to actually form a proper band. Every single band that he formed fell apart and along the way he found himself trying to keep creative by experimenting with sounds on his computer. This was the first stage of the Banzai Kid.
Eventually, frustrated at his latest bands collapse, he realised that the only real answer was to be a solo artist instead and just "see what happens". He has since written many songs and performed them live on Open Mic Nights and fully fledged Gigs.

just listening to your song "I don't want to hurt Noah." Got me thinking about the bible. That Jesus was a cheeky monkey. One of his dispiccables was called Simon and Jay said I shall call you Peter, but I guess Trigger in Fools and horses did the same with Rodney, A.K.a Dave.
when I was an English man, an English man, an Englishman. When I was an English man my knowledge of roaches was small yet factual. Now that I am separated from my wife and dumped by girlfriend my cockroach knowledge is intimate. As pets they have the sense of mischief that a dog simply doesn't have and the independent coldness of a cat is put into stark contrast by the roaches loving swagger.
