Artist History The history of Feed The Cobweb? The story behind us? Mmmmmmm. Very difficult. Many years ago (76) I became a punk and followed bands such as the Banshees, the Cure, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, The Stranglers and then later Bauhaus and others. Anything punk /new wave I guess. It wasn?t long before some friends and I formed the ?Skates Planers?. A true garage band. The Skates existed in the garage and the drummer?s weights room until the early 80?s. By this time we all got real jobs and moved on. In recent times due to this site and the music I have been in touch with the drummer (Tim) and got my hands on the only ?Skates? tape recording in existence. A song that survives from this period is ? I never realised?. Tim/ Tony and I wrote this song!So the years past and work and life took over. I still had an interest in music, but didn?t play anymore. In the early days I had tried so hard to be the bass player. Two years ago I had a life change ? I took very ill and found myself repairing an Electric guitar. I never played guitar, but I guess I started and then the bass was dusted off and then an old four track taken out of the cupboard. The results were poor, but encouraged by B.C and Austin and others ? a Roland 8 track was bought and a home made studio started to develop. The quality of the recording went up and I guess we ended up around about now. Tons of songs, loads of fun. Some fun things to say ? some dark and serious subjects to cover.My guitar playing is handicapped as I only have three fingers working - I still manage to make some interesting noises. A friend said Keith Richards once said ?it takes one arshole and three fingers to play guitar?. So with this in mind ? I guess I?m alright then.Feed The Cobweb ? the name. Originally it was just Cobweb. Part my name/part my partners name and then there was already a Cobweb out there. Hence the addition of 'feed the'. We also tend to think it does. That is the music and interest feeds us with something ? hard to explain, but it?s just great fun and interesting and if some people like the stuff ? all the better ? if they don?t ? so what. It?s for us and we like it. It?s fun to be a Cobweb ? we hope you enjoy the site.Cobweb started in July /August 1999. Who knows when it will finish. Maybe it never will ?
