A brief history......

Played drums in bands since mid-80s around Adelaide and gradually learnt guitar, which enabled me to write songs more easily. Because I only play by ear I didn't really follow traditional learning paths and norms in music. So I guess, influenced by early Floyd and The Church, I went off on my own little psychedelic tangent.....

Have always discarded any ideas which fit into a top-40 type niche. AAAArrrgh!!!

After meandering through rhythm and blues, surf, rockabilly and the like (eg. with The Moonfish), I met Hugh Wilson and Greg Jones in 1992 and formed Spiraled, playing often swirling songs with a Ride/Pixies tinge. This was more definitely where my head was.

Went on to form Thrive with Wilson in 1994 with me on guitar/vocals and experimented with a more leafy sound. Played in Whirlpool on SA's west-coast for a while and then The Zoids with Hugh Wilson again, as a psyche-pop duo complete with drum-machine. Made some nice recordings and wrote some great tunes together.

I moved back to drums in Pogo from 2000, mixing punk, indie, mod and psyche-pop influences in a grungy blancmange of 'teetering on the edge' rock.

Lyrically I've often delved into the unlikely topics of natural disasters and the food chain. Writing from say, a venus fly-trap's point of view when it's about to eat a fly does more for me than writing about having a 'rockin' good time'. The mood of imagining meteorites hitting the earth interests me a bit more than the sequenced bursts of bubblegum music. Takes one to the 'other side', cliché.

So Her Garden is just mainly me and my thoughts and pickings....

(Her Garden is an independent artist - as yet!)
