I first heard about this man from Vai doing Sex and Religion with him. He then dropped off my radar, but the March of the Poozers found me, since then I have slowly been finding out about other tracks.... Deadhead, Stormbender and Canada are just blowing me away.

What an amazing voice, the operatic structure and finally he actually comes across as a real dude.

Anyone else seen or heard of him?

Oh wow - was that the time he decided to go cold turkey off the anti-psychotics but continue with the drink/weed? (He's spoken about it on video).

Can't say I blame you for that - interesting story. (Who else have you looked after?)

He teamed up with Mooer pedals to create this:

Many higher end pedals are 3 to 400 quid. At 200 or so this is great value. It brings together two delays, a reverb and a looper for hours and hours of creative fun.
I'm trying to shake the GAS for a Stormbender...

Youtube offered up this gem as well - stunning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTW0Uf-34BA

A very different take from him.

(As an aside, I love the humour at the beginning of 'Dirty Black Hole' "you want me to deprive my brain of oxygen?")
