Some people have said they found this FAQ page to be hostile. It's not meant to be that at all. It's crucially important to me that I'm accessible to anyone who wants to talk to me. I give out my email all the time - here it is once again. But the fact is that there's only so many hours in the day, so I'm trying to cut down on the amount of mail I get that isn't 100% necessary. That's why this page is here. Feel free, hell, feel encouraged to mail me if you still want to, but bear my precious little private time in mind when you do. There's some mails that I won't reply to because they don't ask a question or anything. Thanks everyone. I sent you a myspace message, you never replied!says on my myspace page. Go on, read it. Read it out loud to your friends or coworkers. Why haven't you played in my town? Can you come here please? Can I book you? I've spent an awful lot of time in the last 18 months booking my own shows, and trying to make things work for everyone. It wasn't the most relaxing of tasks, and so I've not got me a booking agent, who's name is Joanna, and she can be mailed at joanna@itb.co.uk. Does this mean I've sold out? AhahahahaHAHAHA. No really, HAHAHA. When are you on? How much is it? What are the age restrictions? Generally speaking, I don't know! Get in touch with the venue. I usually have over 25 gigs on the horizon, my concern is getting there and playing. Sorry. As for age restrictions, the sad fact is that for many promoters, under-18 gigs are financially unviable. In a perfect world every show would be all ages, but sometimes it's just not doable, and generally speaking it's out of my control. Can you check out my band? Can we support you? Feel free to send me myspace links, or give me demos. One warning though - I'm really fucking busy, and no way have I overlistened the entire Bruce Springsteen back catalogue, so the time I have for checking out new stuff is limited. If I haven't got back to you, don't be offended, I probably just haven't got round to it. Or I didn't like it. As for supports, it's my policy not to get involved in that little political minefield, unless it's for a whole tour, in which case I generally have a list of ideas as long as my arm... Contact the promoter for the show, it's usually his/her decision. Why doesn't the (really old) demo I ordered have the tracklisting on it? What is the tracklisting? Well folks, I really just couldn't be arsed to write it out every time. Consider the fact that at peak I was sending out about 100 at a time. Fuck that. But for future reference, the song titles for the 6-track demo are: Romantic Fatigue The Real Damage Wisdom Teeth Sunshine State This Town Ain't Big Enough For The One Of Me Longing For The Day There were a few four tracks, which were as above but minus 'This Town' and 'Wisdom Teeth'. So now you know. Whatever happened to 'Longing For The Day' (or any other lost oldies)? I loved that song, play it! You didn't love the song, you just feel scene because you got an early demo and none of your friends did. It's a bit like calling out for Operation Ivy songs at a Rancid gig - totally fucking gay, in other words. I stop playing songs because they're not as good as all the others. But didn't you hear? Rancid cover "Unity" and "Knowledge" live these days... I know, I know, but just because they lost the plot, doesn't mean you have to too now, does it? Can I give you £100 million, just for the hell of it? Yes. Can you play my birthday, my housewarming party, my Bar Mitzvah, my charity gig? I've been known to do this kind of thing in the past, but please bear in mind that (a) I do like to have some time off, so if I have a spare day my desire to get on a train to Scotland to play in a kitchen to you and three mates is limited, and (b) I do this for a living, so I need my costs covered. I know that makes me sound uncharitable and everyting, but I simply can't afford to take the train to Sunderland for some beers and a floor to sleep on. Sorry. Can I have chords / tabs for this song? What are the lyrics? The words to my songs are in the music section, duh. As for tabs, I will tab my stuff up when I have the time and the inclination, and not before. I will get round to it though. Can I get rare Million Dead or Kneejerk stuff off you? Maybe. This is a legitimate cause for an email! Wow. I'm not from the UK, where can I get your stuff? Email me, and I'm sure we can sort something out. When's the Million Dead DVD coming out? Sadly, at this stage, it doesn't look like it will, due to legal complications and the fact it'll only sell about 3 copies. This annoys me as much as it annoys you. Will Million Dead ever Reform? Why have you gone pussy / soft / lame? Why don't you scream any more? No more MD I'm afraid. As for the rest of that, please, fuck off... Will you marry me? No, I don't generally believe in the institution of marriage, being, as it is, state interference in extremly private matters.
