Well guys........at the risk of sounding like a wanker???........you might have noticed on another thread where I talked about my band Pel Mel supporting Elvis Costello and the Attractions in the early 80s.......which to me was the highlight of my musical career because he was my musical hero and still is in many ways.........I was also a session musician around that time supplementing my degree in Architecture in both Australia and UK
Australian bands I have played on stage with include The Boys next Door and The Birthday Party.......Nick Caves seminal Aus bands.....and Hunter's and Collector's amongst others
UK bands include a European tour with Simple Minds at the very last minute and a couple of the PostCard Bands of the early 80's with Edwin Collins formerly of Orange Juice and Roddie Frame....amongst others
As far as buildings go..........I have collaborated on and off with people like Renzo Piano and Rem Koolhaus who are contempories of mine.......my latest baby is my new house in NZ which I am about to move into on a part time basis between there and Sydney........you might have noticed I had it up on the board as my avatar for a week a little earlier this year
Oh and Mav...........I never did get the right over left etc thingy.......that's why I always wear slip ons and elastic sided boots....55555
