A LOW HUM.com (wohoo!…finally a real website)
In further efforts to make me look professional, by guardian angel Dan Batkin-Smith (of EEP productions), the guy who shot like 20 tapes worth of footage at Camp, has gone one step further and pieced me together a website that is actually functional! It’s got a working shop and all. Its simple and informative. How I like em. I have finally decided that, well, really I should archive all these tours/shows I’ve done, so on the website in a few months there will be an indepth archive of all the shows/tours, including photos, video, bootlegs, press, reviews and interviews etc… I am trying to track down anything out there that people have, maybe you can help. There is a full list of the shows I’ve done at the bottom of this page, check it out and email me if you can help.
There is also a fully functional shop on the site as well. its sweet. Dan is the man. See his other stuff at www.eep.co.nz
So, keep checking back…cause the “history” section is gonna kick ass! – www.alowhum.com
