Music:Member Since: 9/14/2005Band Website: justincurrie.co.uk Band Members: Justin Currie SyncLive presents streaming video of Justin's performance at the Triple Door in Seattle on May 13, 2008: Watch this show and more at SyncLive.com Influences: 1. Drink 2. Speed 3. Mushrooms 4. Peggy Lee Sounds Like: When five knives of differing lengths are tossed into a till. When the groan of the despondent greets the grin of the innane. When buckets of badges are thrown from a train in a wind so high that the trees get maimed. When the monkey is grinder and the organ is ground. When Eddie Cochran's donkey is mated with John Denver's ass. Sounds like when a fridge full of Heineken is thrown down a mine, when a lorry loaded with lightbulbs collides with a cat or a crockery laden table falls through the floor. When God coughs, or Steven Segal retches, when Susan Hayward sighs, when Johnny-Come-Lately squeals in surprise. When bears roar and bees hum, when books shut or lonely perverts come. When tyres scream and towers shiver, when castles creak, ducks quack, streets quake and mountains moan, when ice cracks and girders groan, when money riffles and sneakers shuffle, when sheets stretch and scouts shout, sounds like a million dogs in a box barking, four swans in a tin tapping, two girls in a lift laughing, one guy with a quiff grunting, the boot marching, the lecher lurching, the pole-dancer punching, the pipe-fitter fetching, the baby-sitter crying, the fish singing, the police ringing, a thousand trousers tearing, the voice of Moses airing, the drums of hell sounding, the pub opening, the shops closing, the clouds moving, the wind changing.

Atlantic City |

Day Off San Francisco |

| After an appearance at KFOG, the big "triple A" station here run by a loyal supporter, Dave Benson, I take a walk downtown to buy a new suitcase. There is a bewildering array in Macy's and I do my neu... Posted by Justin Currie on Wed, 23 Apr 2008 07:44:00 PST |

To San Francisco |
