The Story:

When I was 14 years old, a family friend taught me how to play 'Smoke on the Water' by Deep Purple on guitar, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ll never forget that feeling of wanting more and more- the music /guitar bug had bitten me! All I wanted to do was jam! I have played in a couple of bands over the years, but nothing too serious until now. I played bass guitar in my first band, guitar in another, and later on I played drums in another. Things started to quieten down on the band side after a while, until my old school mate “Edan” phoned me up and asked me if I was keen to play, in May 2005.

I really am so stoked to be apart of this band- with such dedicated members it makes everything so much more worthwhile. We have done some amazing stuff so far (like playing with Metallica at the Colab, and touring the UK), meeting the most craziest and awesome people, and I’m sure its only going to grow more from here…
