BIOGRAPHY
“A boy…a domestic accident…a broken leg…The Boy with a Broken Leg was born!”
Femur, femoral condyle, internal malleolus, astragalus, calcaneum, metatarsus, rotula, tibia, perone, external malleolus, cuboid ... can also be broken bones!”
A violent break of a bone or of a hard cartilage: “We heal the breaks by the immobilization of the offended parts.”
Born in Lisbon, Portugal and raised in a house with a view to the Zoo’s elephants, A Boy spent hours looking at it
Being a typical melomaniac teenager, he started to play guitar very early, first in a classical music school until he joined the Conservatório Nacional de Lisboa. In 1999, a domestic accident happened. Listening to music at home, he accidentally kicked the bed and broke a toe! During the resting period he had proliferous days and recorded the first songs in a small and awful tape recorder. Despite the broken toe, he said it was a broken leg and called himself The Boy with a Broken Leg. “It sounds better than The boy with a Broken Toe!”, said he.
The bone then healed and he became member of projects such as Porno’s Pictorial Place, 3Blind Mice and Le Petit Point. At the same time, parallelly, he kept recording as The Boy with a Broken Leg, to pull out his emotions and dreams. Nevertheless, the injury still haunted him and he didn’t know when it would be healed, and thus concluded it was a product of his own brain.
Since then he joined Essay Collective - an artistic collectivity – with whom he released his first issues, and the project Puget Sound. At present he’s not working on these projects, but is working on his own with a lot of help from several friends.
Break a leg!!!

Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcast day, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.
Comé maltinha, prontos para mais um tema do nosso 1º EP "SEMENTES DA DESORDEM"?
Já podem escutar o revisitado tema "BAR DA GNR", tema nº 2 do EP e que precede às "GUITARRAS DE GUERRA". Este tema já com alguns anitos lavou a cara e foi gravado no inicio de 2009 com novos arranjos, mantendo no entanto todo o carisma que vez dele um dos hinos dos ERVAS DANINHAS. Durante 20 dias, mais ou menos, vão poder entrar no "BAR DA GNR" e buer uma cervejola e morfar uma entremeada e até mesmo apanhar uma carraspana sem ficarem de cana... Dêm gás no volume e acordem os vizinhos... pelo menos aqueles que dormem a sesta ao Domingo à tarde. O "BAR DA GNR" contou com a presença de dois convidados muito especiais, foram eles o Igor e o Arroja dos SHIVERS, que por entre copos de binho e assaltos à sacristia ainda tiveram tempo para uma ida à Sela... ops, desculpem o erro... uma ida à cela.
Um grande abraço para eles e um grande abraço para todos vocês!
