Fight fire with knives comprised seven musicians, theatre performers, writers, visual artists and chefs, gathered together for a brief series of performances / gigs over 2007. The performances focused on the trials besetting the cast and crew of a TV cooking show when their director is found CUT. UP. INTO. PIECES. Follow the link for images and to download live recordings.
It have been my pleasure to be doing some musical work with a host of genius musicians and sound artists. This page documents some highlights in these collaborations, including some examples for thee to download.
The Donut Gringo Avenger Boys is a duo consisting of Mute (known to children and sparkly midgets as The Man Who Hates Fun) and myself: blind (The Fun Who Hates Man). Since forming in Canberra, Australia, from the ashes of 14-piece techno/martial arts combo The Donuts in 1999, the Avenger Boys have been pioneering their unique brand of smash-and-grab loungetronica. With five albums, a 3-record deal with a major record label and a string of tours across Central and Northern Asia, the Boys have returned to their roots and will be rocking out ONLY IN CARPARKS for the foreseeable future.
