Round and round

Funny how life can appear to go round in circles, innit?
I’m originally from Eastbourne, down there on the south coast, and it was there and in the neighbouring town of Bexhill that I grew up and got into my first band, aged 17. When that imploded I managed to tag onto a more metal band [...]

Whatever doesn’t kill me

I’ve been down lately, due to my lack of a band. Little Monkeys/Crashstars has finally collapsed properly - the last gasp re-union Beach Concert was obviously not to be, and I’m fucking done with it now. The one thing I’ll say about that - and this is a direct appeal to Jon E. Crash himself [...]

Monkey Magic

We - that is, Little Monkeys - are playing our rockular music proper loud like this Saturday.
Go here for gig details, then come to the gig, then watch and listen. Then probably go home, or something. I dunno. After that it’s up to you, really.
