Jumped-Up Monkeys - Whatever Happened To The Jumped-Up Monkeys? (2002)

Formed in Melbourne in 2002, this album was recorded on my shitty PC (first generation Pentium as I recall) in my rented house in Melbourne in 2002. Originally just a 2-piece consisting of Brian and Mike on guitars, we expanded the line-up to include Anne-Marie on bass and later Ross on keyboards. Anne-Marie left to pursue other things before our first and only live performance at the Empress pub on Nicholson St. in Fitzroy North. We released this CD to commemorate our brief existence and then split-up when I returned home to Ireland.

Biro - Five Satins Away From Reality (1992)

Biro consisted of the two Brian's on guitars, and  Trev on vocals. For a couple of years we used to get together on Saturdays to write and record songs. A typical day's recording started with us jamming furiously in the morning while Trev scribbled lyrics, by the afternoon we would be laying down tracks, and by tea-time we'd have a finished track or two. After gathering a couple of dozen songs, we chose our favourites and re-recorded them for this cassette release in 1992. Happy days.

Errolade (1997)

Errolade existed for a couple of years (around 1995 to 1997). Myself on guitar and vocals, brothers Toby & Rupert (guitars, bass and vocals) and drummer Phil. Song-writing duties were mostly split between myself and Toby, but Rupert also wrote songs and contributed the excellent "Something New" to the sessions. As I recall, we only played a few gigs during the band's lifespan. Rupert got a job abroad so we hastily recorded this collection of songs to mark the passing of the band in 1997.

Blackie Chicken - No More Mister Nice Chicken (1999)

Blackie Chicken was a project recorded using a PC and a digital mini-disc 8-track. Blackie Chicken consisted of Pan's Apprentice on guitars and computer and Fran on keyboards. It was begun in early 1999 and rushed to a conclusion in October 1999 as I was emigrating to Australia and it was a loose end that needed to be tied up. Some of the tracks still stand up today, but some of it does feel incomplete to me. The tracklist starts at 3 because the first 2 tracks on the CD were short silences. Just to confuse people.

"No More Mr. Nice Chicken" (1999)
Tracklist:
3. Every Sound Uttered
4. What's Your Da's Name?
5. Fat Cock Jim
6. Cool Sandals

Aura & Hardly (1999)

There was a guy in America who was planning to release a CD of cover songs by Australian band The Church and advertised on the web in the late 90s for people to submit their own versions. I don't think the CD was ever released, but I submitted a couple of songs myself. "Aura & Hardly" collects the various Church-related covers I had recorded over the years, both as Pan's Apprentice and with other bands. Biro was a band containing Pan's Apprentice along with Brian on guitar and Trev on vocals. Bel Hekz featured Pan's Apprentice with vocalist Frank. These songs are NOT written by me, so I do not have permission to allow them be reproduced. This download is explicitly for personal listening only.

Acoustic Fundamental Loneliness (1996)

The idea behind "Acoustic Fundamental Loneliness" was to create a set of songs that could be performed live acoustically. I got as far as creating the set of songs, but lacked the courage to go out and play them live. Many of these songs are from earlier "electric" recordings and were stripped down or rearranged to enable me to play them solo.
