First of all, thank you for taking an intrest in my music projects! I have been playing music for over ten years now. Vaious band and projects pop up and disapear every so often. I even went and did got a degree in music! I Currently have a few projects on the go.
I've been playing with Nancy since April 24. We're a proto-punk/riotgrrrl four piece from Brighton. We're all Dolls just trying to make a loud noise and have a fun time whilst doing it. Currently we've only got one single, Lolita Swamp. You can find it on all the places (preferably this one) We take a lot of inspiration from bands Babes in Toyland and Team Dresch whilst throwing in elements Disco and Motown.
a gentle pound is the alias I use for expermental music. I've only played one show under this name. The event was called 'puddle' (an event my wonderful girlfriend, joy0egg, runs). I used a mixing desk with a phaser going into a VCV rack to create large noisy ambient sounds. The outputs were bing fed back into the inputs to create feedback which was being modulated by the phaser to add some movment to an otherwise static sounding drone. Another performance I was apart of that day was during joy0egg's set. We attached a lav mic to a silicone tenticle, put that output through a VCV rack patch that Joy had made which would effect the signal in various differnt ways (I don't know what she did there tbh) and I was fucked with it. I didn't really have anything to do with the creation of the music beyond well... being fucked woth a silicone tenticle, but it was awesome to be apart of that set :)
We are a Transfeminsit Hardcore band, sprung into action after the recent Supreme Court ruling in the UK. I was playing a show at The Prince Albert in Brighton with my old band Drive-By Kills about four days after the ruling. My girlfriend Joy came along to the show and after I had come off stage we had a conversation about the past few days. We had both come to the conclusion that we wanted to be playing heavy music with a bunch of other dolls and we wanted to be saying something important! We sent a couple of messages out; one to the drummer of Nancy Cancer and one into a local Transfeminist reading group that Joy attends. It took only a few days to have a group of dolls interested in playing in a trans feminist hardcore punk band. We got together the following week and wrote the song 'Existential Switch', which can currently be heard on our website. We have since been meeting up once a week to work on the music. Progress has been amazingly quick and fluid. I am very very excited to see where this project goes and what we can do with it in the future.
