February Album Writing Month - FAWM.ORG

Kim o the Concrete Jungle

progress: 15

winner!
joined: January 2006
location: Australia
website: www.mysongcast.com/artist/kim_o_the_concrete_jungle
influences: Old blues and Jazz, rock, punk, 80s underground, truck loads of electronic and music gear that I indulge myself with, video games (especially FUEL, which is completely mind-boggling), zombies, Lee and Thurston, and all the art college dropouts I listened to growing up.

Bio

I've been playing guitar, writing songs, and recording since I was sixteen. The difference now is that, thanks to digital, I can churn out CDs that sound almost as good as professional productions.

I've spent the last two years trying to go beyond being a bedroom warrior, and now I'm in a band. This band in fact:

(I replaced both of the guitarists in that clip.)

My goal is to become the most prolific songwriter in Australia. I'm about halfway there.

I've been way too self absorbed to stop by here and check the progress, much less provide any encouragement. So songs please!

Hi Kim o, glad I didn't offend too much with the Nick Cave comparison. I'm a Nick Cave fan, so it was meant as a compliment...

Hi Kim Great seeing you back again. I don't know if I ever fully expressed how wonderful you and Devin made me feel by taking the time to do a take on my song last FAWM, but that is something I'll always appreciate

"I'm about halfway there. :-p"

Well, if you count our songwriting "greats" like... uh... Guy Sebastian? *shudder*

Have fun in FAWM, mate, one of the few Aussies here - let's tell the rest of these Yanks how hard life is with drop bears and snakes as big as cars!
