ABOUT
Originally from NYC and relocated to London, I’ve over 30 years experience with The Halfbreeds (garage, psych), Gaijin a Go-Go (B52s meets Pizzicato Five, Sony Records Japan), Soundpool (shoegaze, discogaze), and Telecommand (instrumental, retro soundtrack/library music).
I still love all that stuff, as well as organ groove, ye-ye, space age bachelor pad, Shibuya-kei, trip hop, space rock, surf, Cavern Club/Hamburg, jingle-jangle, Britpop, and dream pop.
