I left Famous Grey a while ago now. If you haven’t done it yet, check them out, they are incredible! They did a guest spot on Radio Sonar and makes me proud to have worked with them.
Since then I’ve been noodling about, practicing, doing a bit of writing etc, I can play with a pick now! At the same time I’ve also been looking to join or create another band. A bit more mainstream punk-rock this time (Think ‘New Found Glory’, ‘Hundred Reasons’ or ‘A’), but something which includes the things I learned while playing with FG.
Aggressive, with bundles of feeling and energy
I’ll see how it goes.
This week, Famous Grey are in the studio putting down tunes for the EP.
Drums, Guitar and Bass is down and sounding amazing. The shouting starts tomorrow and the noise will be up on the Famous Grey myspace to listen to next week!

This is the new band I play bass for, the tunes are shaping up to be epic! We are looking to record an demo in the next couple of months and then play some shows and drum up interest. I am really excited about this… Hardcore!!

Lots of changes since my last post about my setup…
I bought a Fender MIM Jazz Bass, an Ashdown ABM210 cab and a 4-way footswitch for my amplifier (which almost didn’t fit in my pedal box!)

Before christmas, an esteemed colleague at work offered me a rack-mount flight case, which I gladly accepted and got thinking about exactly what to use it for. I decided to use it for creating a sound rack for my bass amplifier which would also allow me to store and transport all of my cables and effects pedals.
Currently, my bass amplifier is an Ashdown ABM500 EvoIII, which is in a hard wearing wooden case. My idea was to mount the amplifier into the flight case rack, so I don’t have to carry as many boxes (even though the boxes I will be carrying will be both bigger and heavier!).
