'Flashbacks to Somebody Else's Childhood'....

Well, it's Christmas Eve and with rather fortunate timing I've just finished my first track in a quiet a while. 'Flashbacks to Somebody Else's Childhood' is a Jazz tinged Trip-Hop track inspired partly by a recent trip to New York City. It's also my first attempt at editing footage to create some visuals to accompany my music. Give it a gawk if yea like and if yea want please to do feel free to give it a share....Happy Christmas.

DIY Online Marketing Campaign - Phase One....

Who needs an established record company with a marketing department to get your music noticed when you've got some rudimentary skills in Photoshop, the imagination of a ten year old jacked up on a bag of caster sugar and the burning desire to make fun of your friends in the process.... 

Without further ado, two posters from the marginally effective budget DIY on-line marketing campaign for the 'A Little Understanding E.P'.....
