I lived in a room directly below EvilC and could often hear him playing through METAL tracks on his guitar. I was playing "Always With Me, Always WIth You" (by Joe Satch) on my keyboard one day and I could hear him playing the solo in the room above. I went and met him and we had a jam...I had gotten quite handy at playing death metal drums on the keys of my synth at the time so I did that. It worked well so I was recruited as a drum programmer and keyboard player for Beyond Redemption (who consisted of EvilC and Andy Matthews only at that time).

There have been some excellent gigs at Fibbers in York but the York Uni Battle Of The Bands 2000 final was my stand out gig.

The time I played with a 'key-tar' it was most definitely the right one. (bad memories)

Hehe...without a doubt it was the time when I decided it would be a cool idea to used a 'key-tar' (guitar keyboard thing used by 80's afro boys) at a gig. I picked it up during 'Killing Game' so that I could jump around and go mental and accidentally pressed the 'demo' button. The next thing I know there's a frikkin' Bossa Nova beat coming over the PA. Got out of it OK though...and I don't think that many people noticed....honest!
