Hey EveryoneI have never really done an on line diary before but it might be fun you knowI currently live in Perth Australia and i am Moving to Oxford England i April to persue my passion for drumming i am currently gigging like a fucking monkey testical but i still feel like i am getting no where, so the move to England seems like the logical thing to do, also i am english and have a british passport so i find that rather cool as well seeing how hard things seem to be in getting anywhere these days because of all the threats against our country and such, any ways i started in this new band this week after playing in the same band for three years and earning a fuck load of money i decided to change bands and do something differant.In Australia and in particualy Perth the biggest thing to do is to go and see a cover band and go and see the same stupid fucking songs done by 20 differant bands and see what they are doing better than each other, i played in a band that didnt want to play all the same shit as everyone else so we did our own thing and where did it get us? well im glad you aske fucking no where, the music scene is soooooo closed minded here if you throw something a little differant at them and they have heard it before mind you (on the radio) they still ask for the same shit that everyone else plays its fucked. So after playing shitty clubs and pubs and fucking 5 star hotels i have decided to come back home and start something fresh, i can play a mean drum set and i really enjoy what i do so i know i will be fine there, just might need to do the same thing there for a while to keep the pennys up but as soon as i have the oppotunity to sink my teeth into a project that i deem fit in the UK it will be game onThis week my gigs are:Wednesday night (threeplay) The PaddoThursday night (DCB) The PaddoFriday afternoon (threeplay) The SaintFriday night (DCB) WoodvaleSaturday night (DCB) MustangWell if anyone reads this apart from me that would be a little cool, i love radiohead as well they inspire me to go on, i have just read Radiohead. One of the many books that has been written on the group and throughout the time that the band has spent time together they have done things the wat that they wanted to do them and in a time where you dont say no to a record label you have to have balls to do what they do, even with there music it is what they want to write and it is what they want to preform, i have been a session drummer for nearly 5 years playing everyone elses shit that everyone else wants to listen to and one day i want to look back at the work i have done and be happy with what i put together.Miikey D14/11/08
