Check us out – this is our creature features at Pure Rawk HQ:

“Nix” – Nicola Crichton

Editor / founder / promoter / photographer / DJ

Fell out of the sky in a meteor covered in glitter. Raised by wolves for 30 minutes and abandoned in Balham with rightful parents. Later moved to Croydon.  Found ‘God (Bryan Adams), all went down hill from there. Destroyed Jive Bunny and the Master Mix tape and all was right in the world. Drank beer and all became clear. She’s now here. That was quick.

Bands n’ artists: Far too many to count … and an eclectic mix at that. Listen to my TotalRock Radio show every Thursday 9am-12pm for my favourites!

Likes: Jagermeister, beer, wine, glitter, stars, denim, haribo, drawing, writing, playing video games, photography, BBQ and inappropriate laughing.

Dislikes: Not having the above. Poor band demos that hurt ears.

“Sexy Dave” – Dave Ashworth

CD/Live Reviews and column

Born to rock harder than a nun on the run. Wilder than man or beast. Could drink Chuck Norris into the ground. Eclectic tastes ranging from the hard and heavy stuff to sweet power rock tunes. Don’t mess with the Dave, he’ll break your fruit machine and fall in your chest freezer.

In freak beer pressure accident, brain cell was spliced with Nix’s brain cell. Damn.

Likes: Quality ale, quality wine, quality whiskey, quality steak, breasts, rollerderby, shambling, rock and roll, heavy metal, blues, classic fiction and science fiction, whiskey, marxism, comics, abstracts, pie, particle physics, cartoons and big boots.  

Dislikes: Burning dinner and not having any of the above.
