porcini left england at 19 to escape from a squat in kings cross
being savaged by violent scots stranded in london after a football
game.
arriving in los angeles with three hundred dollars that
disappeared in a week on cocktails and hamburgers he was forced
into menial labour, stacking shelves in a westwood department
store before earning enough money to hitch-hike to san francisco.
here he bought a saxaphone and moved into the residents old
apartment where snakefinger was still living. san fran was alive
with a post punk arty fart scene of radical experimentation and
porcini started his weird shit days of music. although there were
some true luminaries on the scene such as mark pauline and his
survival research laboratories, monte cazzaza, factrix and a host
of underground bands, nothing of what porcini did in this period
was, or ever shall be released, owing to the fact that on the
whole it was a bunch of toss to listen to.
leaving san francisco for new york with new found australian
friends spk he eventually came back to england and hated it. after
a brief trial of berlin he settled in italy and remained there for
10 years making music for film and television before getting back
to music for music's sake.
after establishing connections with ninja tune from italy porcini
eventually came back to the mother ship and immersed himself in
his studio 'the uterus goldmine' to produce the first album 'hed
phone sex,' a heady record openly made more for the pillows than
for the dance floor. the second album 'love pussycats and
carwrecks' was one for the drivers seat while his latest lp 'the
ultimately empty million pounds' settles itself within the new era
of music making, far from the madding music industry and into the
realms of technological independance.
