MICK TWOMEY Bass Guitar
Does anyone remember the RIOT ? As
chequered a career as a gingham tablecloth Mick began with a £5 warped bass and
then forgot how to play. A reserved character who cites other shy and retiring
bassists Sid Vicious and Jean Jacques Burnell as influences (All hail Jean
Jacques). Past bands include The Bo Gators, Pulse and a three-gig
stint with Gina and the Champions, which he describes as
like trying to swim across the channel tied to an anchor blindfolded. Accused of
liking style over content Mick says all his contents are stylish??
He is the co - founder of CORTEZ with
Kieran - they were also the rhythm section behind the first two aforementioned
bands. Mick blames his extracurricular activities with LITTLE SISTER
and LISA JANE BAND as something he was forced into while on alien
abduction who were performing an intergalactic experiment on the resources of
the human brain under uncompromising conditions and the results of physical and
mental endurance.
BEST
MOMENT: It has been said when he turns his
amp to off but at a push BAD aint half bad at all.
