InDreama feature on Hear Nebraska

Nik and I were interviewed about recent developments with InDreama. Go here.

New Musical Express uses my video!

I was blown away to find out that news on my band InDreama signing to Team Love records was in the NME, one of the UK's long standing music magazines/institutions. It has long been a dream of mine to see my name or one of my recordings mentioned in a magazine such as this. I mean, they didn't use the press release from the label, they used my You Tube video!

InDreama sign to Team Love records!

I'm very happy to announce InDreama is now on Team Love records. InDreama is the band I am a member of along with Nik Fackler (Icky Blossoms). When I first met and started to work with Nik (about 8 years ago) I had a strong feeling that what we were doing was good, and was going to get better. More info about this is at Team Love's site http://team-love.com/ Check out the band live performing "Reprogram".
