Complete with Texas drools, lap steels and honky tonk tales of heartbreak, THE DURELL FAMILY are as country as a cow pie in the jaws of a hungry cowboy. But are they pranksters? To look at them, you'd certainly think so; the shexshy singer is dolled up in a big blonde wig and check shirt. Stage left, the double bassist is wearing a prison jump suit (no time to change after the jailbreak, we're told). So - joke band, yep? Well... almost. Instead, the facade simply disarms the audience, opening their minds through their grins while some rattling, rolling, snake-wrestling anthems travel through their ears. It's opium, it's Mazzy Star, it's Dolly Parton on toast... and they're rather fantastic.

I'm a graphic designer.
I won't go into what I've designed and who for as I don't like to drop names.
I like most music but not much from the last 5 years as most music nowdays is utter shite. I stopped reading the NME about 15 years ago which kind of shows the sorry state of UK music. Good old, new and upandcoming bands - 80s matchbox, Interpol, Horrors, Luxury Stranger, Bowie, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Joy Division, CSS, PIL, The Chameleons...you get the jist, methinks.

Hey, I'm a classical trombone student (O_o), an acoustic song-writer, and I'm really into most kinds of music, especially classic rock, metal, and the ones above!
