"Play music for the love of playing music....."
Currently the bass player for the Adelaide band Twitch. We are on the hunt for a drummer and horn player to jam with that is keen on filling in some of the funk!
Playing the bass guitar since 1994, I have a great passion for any music with a solid groove. Core influences are in the Funk / Alt Funk Rock genre having grown up in the 90's listening to the likes of early Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus and Mr Bungle. Some of my most recent influences include the Butterfly Effect, Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus and Twelve Foot Ninja.

Boomstick
Boomstick Track number: 1 Year: 2015 Album: TBA Genre: Funk
This is one our first original tracks. The main baseline for this song came about after watching the cult classic Evil Dead: Army of Darkness, the word Boomstick gave the idea of a killer fat slap bassline. The chorus has been a long standing riff Matt and Simon jammed in early high school. Watch for the church-like guitars and tight static beat. Enjoy.
