I hate writing bios, they always come across as contrived. Try and be enigmatic and you risk sounding like a w**ker. Try and be ironic and you may sound bitter, charming appears sleazy. Honesty -desperate. So at the risk of sounding like a desperate, bitter, sleazy w**ker I suppose I'll begin...
I'm an outspoken, outgoing, opinionated geek of a skater/mountainboarder. I run and promote a drum and bass night and DJ at an alternative night and at a local rock bar. I'm an avid festival goer and have a huge passion for music. My favourite genres include; punk/ska/reggae/oi/rock/grunge/metal/hip hop/blues. I'm an anti-capitalist, anti-fascist with socio anarchic tendencies. I'm a dissident and value my right to protest. I have delusions of being a writer. I'm a huge film geek and I love anime. I read - knowledge is power.
...that's all true except for the tense. 5 years ago it was true - then it all went a bit south when I became massively depressed. Since then I've not been so outgoing or outspoken, I've not run any nights or dj'd them. Haven't got to many festivals. Haven't been skating or mountainboarding in time. I have been unemployed, at times homeless and starving.
Now I have a roof over my appropriately medicated head and I'm coming up swinging courtesy of our wonderful NHS and those lovely people at the Citizens Advice Bureau. No job yet but I'm working on it.
My local scene has disappeared whilst I've been getting my s**t together. So I'm just on here to try and meet some decent human beings.
