Yossarian, sadly, is not my real name. It's Tom. I'm slightly ashamed to count myself amongst the thousands of budding singer-songwriters out there who think you might want to hear about their sad and meaningless lives. Two things make me stand out, however: my consciousness of the absurdity of the above, and my almost complete inability to play the guitar. Instead I fight a losing battle to sound like the Mountain Goats using just a Yamaha PSR-220 electronic keyboard and a decidedly English voice. This results in something darkly humorous and musically not very accomplished which I'm hoping has a peculiar charm of its own. Audiences at all... however many there've been now of my gigs so far have been surprisingly attentive, and a moustachioed man at the first said I was 'like Serge Gainsbourg on temazepan,' which I took as a compliment. I represent a particularly young and tender new branch of the sapling Manchester label Slick Nine Records, whose gnarliest living limb Keyboard Rebel also tolerate my meanderings in their line-up.
