Been in any Bands? Tell us about them!
Got a couple of years?? heehee.
Here's a brief outline of bands and highlights:
The Antics: My first band, Stooges style punk.

The Kaper: Supported The Cult, Silverchair, Spy Vs Spy, The Saints, Def FX, Mantissa, Chocolate Starfish, Allegiance, Painters and Dockers. The Kaper was an original band that slowly turned in to Perth's longest running premier cover act, holding down a 12 Year Newport Hotel residency.

New Antics: As above with legendary singer/performer Steve Letch on vocals from PJ Hooker and The Misfits.

Atmosfear: Perth's hardest working original band for 7 years! 2 Big Day Outs, 75 spins with 13 cool video clips on Rage. We won best Video at WAMIS and supported Alice Cooper at the Entertainment Centre.

SkinInc.: Western Australia's answer to Motley Crue. We released 2 CD's (Love Me Tomorrow and Rose Coloured Glasses) and a couple of vids. We played on Big Day Out and at the Speedway to 5000 people.

TKO: My latest original outfit - All great players with one CD Released called Bearings. Our No Surprise video clip has been played on Rage and we also supported You Am I This year, TKO played at the 2003 Royal Show and the Melville "Yak It Up". We have a new CD coming out soon. 4 of Perth's best recording engineers in the band, which makes music in a similar style vein comparable to Faith No More meets Linkin Park.
