Sorry, but I'm going to blow my own trumpet for a moment. (and how we all wish we could do that..hur-hur-hur)
After 3 years of shopping two scripts around that I wrote to everyone in this country, meeting producers, applying for funding etc etc and blah blah blah, I have secured myself an agent in Hollywood.
COME ON!!!!
An agent in Beverley Hills that has agreed to represent me and present my scripts, along with any future developments and treatments I come up with.
He takes a percentage, but with an agent touting for you, you get taken more seriously than a lone writer.
And part of my contract is that I register with the Screen Writers Guild of America.
So, I am now Goatboy SGA
I have letters after my name, an agent and two completed scripts.
Life is good, and my band is playing a showcase gig this thursday.
I rule.

I think that's a good thing...hehe
And now I have a shaved head and contact lenses.
And I had a t-shirt printed with "Silverback" on it, in worship of the awesome "Stomping Round" comment on Upwire.
That will live forever!

NO. Please, don't just stop doing it. If you guys have bothered to get together and do something, then you can't just chuck it in? Surely not? Hell, even if it's just you guys playing in someone's garage, gotta be worth it.
I don't sing anymore on account of not having any songs to

Bass players...if there were any good their guitars would have 6 strings
*hehe* Just a little dig at the rhythm section.
Hard times have fallen on Doctor-Monkey.

Flying V means total rock annihilation!
Simply for this awesome axe, you must continue dude!
What kind of music is it? Can I hear you guys?
If ANYONE is thinking of starting a band or learning an instrument, do it. Just get it in your hand and learn.
Please, we need more bands otherwise we'll just have The Spice Girls to listen to, and nobody wants that.
I don't care if you think you suck, you don't.
We've played with some good bands, and some that really, really suck.
However, for the simple fact that someone has learned an instrument and has the balls to get onstage then I respect that.
It's easier to sit in the dark and sneer than it is to get up and risk being laughed at for doing something creative.
I may not like the music, but if a band is up there giving it 100% then you have to admire that.
Not like it, but admire them for it.
Doctor Monkey must continue! For the sakes of everyone and anyone that has ever picked up an instrument.
And you're called "Doctor Monkey", and that's reason enough.

Okay, where can I get a CD?
And where can I get tickets for your movie premier? ;-p
Cash is waiting to be spent...

Hmmm
If you can't find someone... back of NME has hundreds of unsigned things... sure you'll do fine though.
Theres a thing,think I'll look for the band name at back of NME this week... they have every gig on that week on it :)
Mates big brother's band were in it :D

A sincere thanks Grix.
I like it, but then I would.
We've had a lot of knocks from A&R people before they started to take interest, so we're used to criticism.
Strange thing is, as soon as one record company expresses an interest, they all start to phone and want to take you out for lunches.
Cowards, they need to know that someone else likes it before they'll even consider you.
But that's how it works.
And I know this sounds like a crock, but the opinions of people here mean more to me personally than some punk A&R man - you lot are honest (to the point of cruelty sometimes)
And if anyone doesn't like it, feel free to say so, I'm a big boy and can take it.
Now, where's my white sweatbands?
