Acoustic
I perform as an accordion player under the name Magpie Killjoy. By and large, I play for either goth or anarcho-folk audiences. Some of my favorite bands I’ve shared the stage with include Jill Tracy, The Ghosts Project, Old Horsey Slideshow Review, and Dark Dark Dark.
I’ve got a demo CD out, which you are free to download and burn yourself.
I also busk extensively.
Attack Attack Attack
I’ve released two albums as Attack Attack Attack, an anarchist industrial project. The first is “No Gods, No DJs” from 2006, the second is “We Are Not In The Least Afraid Of Ruins” from 2008. Both can be downloaded in their entirety from Strangers In A Tangled Wilderness.
Wingzar!
Under the heteronym Wingzar, an anti-civilization robot, I released an EP “What We Lack In Subtlety We Compensate For In Number Crunching, released in 2007. The first single, “Robot Army” appeared on Warren Ellis’ podcast The 4am. The EP can be downloaded for free from Strangers In A Tangled Wilderness.
The Illawen
I played keytar for the green-and-black synth-metal outfit The Illawen, a few tracks of whose can be downloaded, once again, from Strangers In A Tangled Wilderness.
I Awoke
I Awoke was a short-lived darkwave band I programmed synths and drums for back in 2001-02. We recorded but never released an EP, but one track, “gone”, ended up on the 2002 compilation Emotional Overdrive, from Angelfall Studios and now available from Projekt.
Drummer
I’ve toured as a drummer for the post-goth rock band Ego Likeness.
