Music career


Well I figure that since I'm writing about the jobs of my life, I might as well write about my music career as well. So lets begin with my very first band.
I guess it was 1988 when I first joined a real band and actually played to an audience in Orange NSW. The band was called Sweet Revenge. We began as a five piece band that included a saxophone player. It had various line up over a two year period until its eventual demise in 1990. The drummer and myself were the two mainstays of the band. During this time we lost two members due to a car accident on the way home from a gig in Mudgee NSW. They didn't die thankfully, but they were pretty messed up for a while. We gave marching orders to another two after finding them smoking a joint backstage at a bluelight disco gig in Young NSW. They could not understand what our problem was:-). Eventually the drummer decided he needed to live in Queensland and delivered my guitar and amp to my place early one morning and then vanished. I did end up in a band with him again in the near future, but thats a story for another day. As for Sweet Revenge, well lets just say that all thats left are the memories.

Keep smilin......
