Ten years ago Bodycocktail had it's one and only Christmas hit, "I've Got a Salty Lunker Grub for You This Christmas" which is now available online to add cheer to the holidays in our own special way.Band/artist history
I started Bodycocktail as my solo spin-off of Grandbrother. I had gotten into doing vocals and occasional lyrics with Grandbrother and after I bought my first electronic instrument, an Ensoniq Mirage sampling keyboard, I was inspired to start doing songs. This would be in 1993, but my earliest songs appear on the 1984 Zanstones "Subtle Art of Puddle Pushing" release. I had been writing potential lyrics long before this, some of which I used later in Bodycocktail.
I started the band with some help of my friend Bobby Douglas (drums) and Archie "Chillson" Wilson (guitar) and we even played out live perhaps half a dozen times in 1993 and 1994. Soon it became a solo project and I even did a few solo live shows. The Bodycocktail releases "Enlivened Circumstances" & "Solo Live Blisstones at Sparks" document some of these live actions.
Peak studio years, with over 20 releases, include 1996, 2004 and this year.Have you performed in front of an audience?Once in a blue moon while on tour in Europe.
Your musical influences
1977-1983 new waveWhat equipment do you use?
Children and toy keyboards, Ensoniq Mirage, accordians, stringed instruments, wind instruments and non-instruments.Anything else?
the music's intention is to have the effect of a nice cocktail rolling over your mind. The song titles have numbers which reference the release number first, followed by a dot then the track number.
