♫ DJ - Xander

I DJ at NWL Radio (www.nwlradio.co.uk). My show is The Launch Pad , playing rock, metal and alternative along with new and unsigned music. My current slot is Mondays 3-5pm. Message me if you want to send your demo or request! I will be starting a second show at Hermitage FM at the end of the summer! I am available for club slots. Everything I get will be reviewed and blogged here, noted at the Facebook Page and posted at RunWithTheTorch and PureRawk.



I help out TotalRock with some internet stuff and also I'm a remote producer for the Anarchy On The Airwaves show, Thursdays 6-9pm (UK).




♥ DRUMMER- Styx.

"I don't play the drums, I abuse them with sticks!"
I had one lesson from my music teacher, Mr Leigh, in 1994, in which I was taught how a kit is played, everything else is self taught, which I believe to be an advantage, due to having a natural rhythm from within, rather than a taught, rigid technique. I use a white vintage Hohner percussion kit. I am looking for endorsement and sponsorship for cymbals.

♯1. My first band, BADAXE, is my fun serious band. I joined in July 2006, the band have been together for 33 years. We play Punk/Rock/Blues/Comedy, kinda like putting Roy Chubby Brown and The Mac Lads together with Brian May.




♯2. My second band, KID KLUMSY, is my seriously fun band. I joined in March 2008, the band have been together for 12 years. We play Punk/Pop/Rock/Metal, though we don't conform to being a type or genre, we are a rock band, it's what we do!



I have many other projects in the works such as a new cover band, Tea Bagged, a Rage Against The Machine tribute and a percussion band.


☮ROADIE - Nikko
I am the drum tech for the newly reformed Tank. I can be booked as a package: driver, roadie, photographer and tour manager all in one. I am very good at logistics and packing. I have previously done this with We Rock Like Girls Don't for their German Tour. I have been affectionately been given the title of 'roadographer' whilst working with local bands Little Hope, Kid Klumsy and Messini Assault.

✿Personal

Well I love music, mainly rock but also 80's and cheese! Love my family and friends, I'll do anything to help them out, they are very important to me.

I have a stupid amount of nick-names; Nik, Nikko, Ni, Yellowxander, Yellow, Yells, The Yellow One, Xander, Xanders, Xandy, XanderPants, Pantsy, Styx and women I don't know always seem to call me "Oi, you in the bushes". I often get comparisons to Marty Pellow (Wet Wet Wet).

My favorites things are pizza, yellow, boobs, Jägermeister, vodka, free things, boobs, sleeping, huggs, Kylie Minogue, cats, hats, boobs, Dr.Pepper, chocolate, classic Minis, my awesome iMac, boobs, London, Barcelona, New York, sexy female musicians (especially bassists) oh and did I mention boobs?
I'm a little OCD, love meeting new people, outgoing but un-confident. I also use exclamation marks too much and I can't spell very well!! I wear odd socks on purpose too! ✿
