some stuff about sohail khan
>>paul | >>david
Hello I is Sohail. I is lead sexy boy with band Silly Automatic.
I help write songs and all ideas that are good for band Silly Automatic.
I is also (so am told) v sexy on stage with my long hair down, providing
large shape for Paul to hide behind (him being very Andy Partridge
about live performance). So I is the front man to Paul and David
who provide plinky plonk on guitars, Paul also does bang bang noises
but enough about him. I is 34 which is young for me and I live in
magical Huddersfield which I like very nice though people here always
grumble about it but never leave. I started with Paul doing stuff
two years ago and more. We wrote a lot of numbers but Paul wanted
another plinky plonker so we inherited David from a job lot of cover
musicians who were about to be destroyed at the local pound.
Me: (poking my fingers through the wire mesh and jumping up
and down excitedly) Can I have that one, the one with the big sad
eyes clutching the twelve string?
Paul: oh all right then. But you will have to house train him.
I did a pretty good job at house training David, having studied
theatre at Dartington College of Art. Where I mastered in running
around naked and performance tree hugging. Co-incidentally Paul
also attended the same institution a few years before me though
he studied art. He is still perhaps better known for his work in
animal stuffings which he was doing years before Damien Hirst. Infact
he stuffed so many animals the police had to be called.
After college I travelled to Russia where in Moscow I studied how
to be a screen star at the Central Institute for Cinematography
where I learn't dodging bullets, keeping warm and listening to esoteric
nonsense about the creative spirit. Whilst next door the real money
is being made by film students doing hard core porn for export.
Which is good reality preparation for anyone in artistic practice
in this con'try (go see the Millenium Dome). Well, I could go on
for ever, so enough from me. If this has left you hungry for more
of me or any other bands member, I suggest you come see us gig,
buy our CD or keep visiting the site.
Love stuff. Sohail.
