Band #8 "Crash"

After I left Bastille, I was again recruited by The Axemen as their Bass player. However, not much had changed in that band since I was with them over a year ago. So it very quickly became the same old same old. Then I had a friend suggest that if I wanted to make some good money and get plenty of work, I should consider a duo. Hmmmm, a duo. Could I do such a thing? I had only ever played in bands so far in my career and a duo seemed like such a step back. However, after pondering the suggestion for some time, I was reminded of a guy I knew who used to be in a local duo. He had once expressed his interest in doing some type of musical project with me if the occasion ever arose. Well the occasion was here and who better to start a duo with than a guy who had done it before. So after I finally tracked him down, (he was on holiday somewhere when I finally found him)He said he would think about it and get back to me. Think about it? What was to think about? Anyway, when he got home about a week later, he called and so Began Crash. His name was Matt Anderson. Crash quickly became a very popular act that lasted 3 and a half years and only finished because we both moved out of Armidale. Funnily enough we both ended up in Brisbane. Matt was on the north side and I was on the south. When the opportunity finally arose for us to get back together in a duo situation, he up and moved to Newcastle. And so the show must go on, but perhaps one day we will get to perform together again.
Keep smilin....
