About Me
Monday, 25. August 2008, 05:01:07
Hello, I hope this entry
finds you in the best of health. It crossed my mind when looking at my 'About me' page, that i am sick to death of seeing it, 1980'ish Good grief! Thats just beyond the Great Flood of 1303. So, hence posting it away to the archives >>>>>>>:OFFWITHYOU:>>>>>>>.4 My Friends
Some of my work over the years:
Artists worked with:
#1. B.R.F. [Wellington].
#2. Machinations,[Sydney Australia],Touring Australia exstensively,over this time with:
Joe Jackson.
New Order.
John Cooper Clark.
Jeffrey Lee Pierce.
Hunter and Collectors.
Nick and The Bad Seeds.
#3.Heptocrats.[Auckland]4.
Studio work with Car Crash Set.
5. Mea Culpa. Were; Clay 'BassFace Paviel'. Kenneth Haines and Floyd Rudolph [Christchurch].
6. Manulitos Dreamstate,[Christchurch]. Were Andrew Penman and Dave Deckon, founding members of Salmonelladub, the best of my musical adventures to this day.
Hinekaro: a short movie with Rena Owen, Rima Te Waiata and others. Much Hairwork for many different shows over the years.Most memorable Guava and Bananas Wellington,Many shows with Shayne Radford,Steven Braxton, David Hamilton, Antonio Fernandez, Chris Little and Derek Elvy amongst others.
Cranium, my business from 1990 to 1995, hairwork, artwork and other cranial bits and pieces. See Here.
Its all good its simply.... OLD.
In reality....New Order drank way too much....altho' wonderful to tour with and bend the elbow with.
John Cooper Clarke sank way too much heroin for his own good!! Volatile, Obnoxious..God i dislike that sh$t.
Joe Jackson and his crew..I will never forget ! Joe would be at sound check early 3.00pm'ish. Following this around 5'ish he would go to his room on site, not his hotel room. In this room was a grand piano and two bottles of fine red. He would not leave this room until he walked on stage, sometimes up to five hrs. The funny thing is, he already had three pianists/synth players. Come the last song in his set he would sit and play the piano, the 'ONLY' time he played piano. Before beginning he simply said..."I miss my family."...and played.
Outstanding song writer, a gentleman.
Jeffrey Lee Pierce...Enough energy and attitude to sink a ship, and in dry dock !
Altho playng guitar and vocals, he was a brilliant piano player and great songsmith.Nick Cave...To much smack. And 'YES' i would like my ring back, it was my fathers.
Badseeds, excellent. To my mind Mick Harvey was the shinning light, playing drums, a multi-instrumentalist, he was the glue that kept the 'Badseeds' together. Not to be confused with Mick Harvey the cricket umpire.
Hunters and Collectors were a blast and i still have time for Mark Seymour and his brother, Nick.
Bands i have worked with here in Aotearoa are doing fine and i am proud of them and the time we spent together. Especially my brothers S.D...We are blood Dub family, guaranteed..!!
These days i am refining many years of songs and tracks inorder to work them from my own website in the near future. You will all surely be welcome.
You can come and leave messages saying, "Hey we came here to see AC/DC" or "Can't you play smoke on the water" "Poofta" or "Move over here so i can throw my bottle at you" I know you wouldn't do that ....these are some of the stupid things i have had yelled at me while on stage, not often, just gigs with too much booze and brainless types.....not that there is anything wrong with Deep Purple, nor AC/DC....Creative Music// Rhythm work.
My whanau is everything to me.
I am totally passionate about Opera Software.

what i see is a man who doesn't frown (no furrowed brow). i wish i had that trait! your brow is smooth without wrinkles. your eyes do look a bit tired and your mouth a bit low (probably due to lack of sleep). while i can appreciate the oldness you speak of, i don't see anything old about your 'about me' blog post!
it thrives with life and teams with the future. good write dub.

I came over to check your post about kids names..
So excited about the strange people here in Aotearoa who named their kids Ford etc etc...i raved about it in my comment and then realised this info was in the first paragraph of the post..
I deleted it..sorry you had already mentioned it..sorry Isabel.
Great post.
