Big Note Featured Artists
76
Individuals' names.
Andrew Clarke is the singer and guitar player. Matthew is his brother and he plays the piano. Chris is Matthew's oldest friend and plays the drums. Phil plays the bass whilst simultaneously being very tall.
Brief Biography:
Andrew listened to Slayer until he was 24 years old. Matthew is studying to be a music teacher. Chris is a drummer with a degree in chemistry. Phil used to be in a band called the Silly Trousers. That we can play stuff that is recognisable as music at all should be considered a great success.
Musical Style/description/quotes:
Someone said I sounded like a drunk donkey once. I don't think this was a compliment.
Forthcoming news/plans:
What with world domination involving too many forms, the band is settling for playing increasingly energetic gigs and recording demos.
Recordings made/available. (how to get them)
From our web-site. At our gigs. By asking us very nicely.
Influences:
Tom Waits. Bob Dylan. Leonard Cohen. Johnny Cash. The Sex Pistols first gig was in '76. Part of the reason for calling our band 76 is as a declaration of independence from the negative and destructive energies of punk and a move back to the more positive energy of the old rock and roll. Try having sex to the Clash's first album, or the Jam's. Then try with Elvis Presley on the stereo. Yes.
Daydreams:
I often daydream about staring blankly out of the window at work and then I wake up and I'm staring blankly out of the window at work and then I wake up and… But seriously I mostly dream about sex. What the hell do you dream about?
Secret pleasure.
It's a secret. Really.
Favourite memory:
I don't have a very good relationship with my memory.
Longest hour:
If you jumped out of a plane exactly 120 miles above the ground.
Shortest hour:
There is documented evidence of an hour in the small Southern Texan town of Raitsville that only lasted 57 and half minutes. Scientific research has suggested the anomaly was due to heavy blasting in the nearby iron-rich mountains disrupting local electro-magnetic fields. Residents reported feelings of dizziness, disorientation and paranoia and people were observed falling over in the street and talking incoherently. As the town was in Texas, though, the phenomena was not noticed for several days.
Favourite gadget/luxury:
My favourite luxury would be an all powerful and all loving God who answered all prayers offered in genuine humility and existed. Oh well.
Itchiest irritation:
That the most powerful man on earth genuinely believes God exists.
Best understanding:
I happen to believe confusion is the natural state for us lot and understanding usually means not thinking hard enough.
Greatest confusion:
Don't get me started.
