About me: I dont really use myspace anymore (you can find me on facebook) but its good for the band.
I play bass and sing in a melodic punk rock band called Our Escape.
The band is only one of the things that make me who I am, but its a major one. They are a rad bunch of people and I am lucky to be able to make sweet music with them.
If you see me at a gig, come say hi. Its great to meet people who like our music.
When im not at band practice or playing a gig then im doing scientific research, lecturing in Animal Behaviour, instructing a dog training class, or walking my dog. Anyone see a theme there???....
I do sometimes sleep too.
Who I'd like to meet: I would love to go on tour with The Swellers and A Wilhelm Scream. Please somebody arrange that for me?...
Rising stars of the UK ska/punk/metal scene Random Hand return to Glasgow fresh from rave reviews at Reading and Leeds Festival and are joined by Mike TV (formerly Pickled Dick) who are undoubtedly the best pop-punk band in the UK. Local support comes from The Terrors and The Murderburgers. Ages 14+ welcome
If you want advance tix for a fiver either contact me via this myspace or get hold of Tina, Rose or Fraser.
