Rich Matthews and I have started up a new band to play on a very intermittent basis in the interests of getting together every now and then to make a racket and have a good time. We’ll primarily be playing a collection of older songs (from Sink mainly, but also some Chocolate, the original Liquidman, You Disgust Me and possibly a couple of K-Line songs to which I wrote the lyrics…although the K-Line is doubtful because I can’t sing like Zac). Rich’s mate Tom (ex of Colour Code) and Damion Rice - my filmwasters.com buddy and ex-Killerest Expression - will be on drums and bass respectively.

The initial idea came about when DS kindly asked me to play an acoustic set as an opener for the ’secret’ Snuff gig in Cambridge back in August. I didn’t fancy doing an acoustic set, but asked if we could do a one-off band thing and play some old songs. DS was up for it so Rich and Tom & I had a couple of rehearsals and opened up the night. We enjoyed it so much and people were so positive about it that we decided to play a few more gigs.

The first one is back at The Portland Arms on Saturday December 19th with Damion joining on bass and Rich switching back to guitar. If you’re interested in seeing us play then get in touch…especially if you can put us on. We have gigs in Leamington Spa and Kingston in the works, but no dates confirmed yet.

[Liquidman history: A few years ago I got together with John Ruscoe and two good friends, Damion & Sid, from The Killerest Expression to knock out a one-off studio project. The new band needed a name so we resurrected Liquidman]
