Artist Profile
How would you describe your sound and what are some of your influences?
I\'ve been a massive fan of David Holmes for a long time and his music I have always considered to be my single greatest inspiration to write and produce.

Who would you like to support?
David Holmes, AC DC - but I wouldn\'t be able to hold myself together if I was in the same room as them. I would literally piss in my knickers then pass out.

What’s your favourite album this year?
History in The Faking...by, well, me!! Nah! Only joking - I actually just bought \'Who\'s Next\' by The Who which has blown the tits clean off me.

Any weird things happened to you at a gig?
Fell off a bass amp into the Drum rig once. Asked a bird to show me her baps but she threw pint glass at me instead. Puked.

What can people expect when coming to your gig?
Not a hell of a lot as I\'m a digital artist first and foremost - more than happy to come and perform in any female fans bedrooms though...free of charge...well maybe if there\'s sandwhiches.

To which record label would you most liked to be signed to?
Brainshaker Inc. It\'s my own label but I\'m having a hell of a time persuading me to sign me. I might need more marketing at myself.

How did you come up with your name?
A homeless guy shouted it at me in the street in New York - \"Hey Grand Slam Smith, gimmie a dollar and you can kick my ass\". I was going to go with \"Gimmie a dollar and you can kick my ass\" but it\'s far too long.

How did you get together? (if you’re a group etc)
Well I was first introduced to me quite a long time ago and me and I have been together ever since. We argue all the time but the doctors reckon it\'ll pass.

How has your music evolved since you first began playing music together?
In seriousness I started music as a Guitarist in loads of garage bands, I \'graduated\' to bass and found a love for that instrument more so that lead. I like a lot of groove and I think my music reflects that, its quiet bass driven wether it be simple or a little bit more creative. Over the last few months I have been leaning more to the electronic and the guitar is spending more time on the stand- whcih isn\'t a bad thing - I knwo it\'s there and if it\'s needed it\'ll be used.

Have you ever thrown a TV out a window? If not, would you like to?!
I chucked a TV in through a window once which I thought was pretty cutting edge. It was my neighbours house and I unfortunately killed his cat in the process.
