TC ~ May 2023 ~ "Most of my lyrics have no meaning or make sense. I describe my style as Verbal Junk(y)"
"I have a backlog of about 30 Songs, mostly written as a teenager and in my twenties".
Goal - For Me & Mikey to record all of my Original Songs and Make An Album, all be it a home made album. Can We do it? Yes We Can! I am going to look back at my younger self for inspiration.
It won't be perfect, but at least I can say I have tried and have No Regrets becuase I didn't try"...
Fast Forward 40 years ...
Lets Do It!

Mikey started off with his Love of Drumming as a teenager. He started playing with some mates doing Originals in the early 90's. Highlights...
They Recorded an album & got one of the bands songs played on Radio Hauraki...
Fast forward to the 2000's, Mikey started playing in Covers Bands. He did the Auckland pub Circuit part time for over 15 years, & finally semi retired in 2019...
The love of Live Sound came along while playing in covers bands. Unable to find a sound man for a gig one night & with no options available, thrown in the deep end, Mikey took up the challenge of Controlling the Desk while behind the drums. The rest they say, is history...
Moving into 2023, post the C Word....Mikey is finally putting aside some time, Joining TC, Programming and playing Drums on their Verbal Junky Adventure...
Verbal Junky's First Album is in progress. This is Mikey's Maiden Voyage for Recording & Producing Original material in the Studio. Learning as he goes, this the beginning of his Mikey K adventure. Watch this space...

TC started out playing Guitar at the start of her High School years. Taking advantage of the free music lessons provided by her school (Long Bay College on Auckland's North Shore), she tried many instruments including Guitar, Drums and trumpet. A player of many, but master of none. This is when the love of guitar and Song Writing came to Fruition.
A stint in her school years, playing in a couple of original school bands, saw the most Productive time in TC's Musical Journey...
After leaving school, then along came covers bands...
One of the bands, she was in at the time was unable to get a Bass Player, TC took up the challenge & then switched to bass permanetely...
Playing in covers bands Over The next 35 years TC considered herself very lucky as she got to play with many talented musicians, way above her skill level. Being a female bass player, with the added advantage of Stage Presence probaly helped her score the gigs.
2019 until present, TC is semi retired and now only plays the odd live gig.
2023 sees TC's Passion re ignited to Record and Play Guitar & Bass on her Songs.
