Born March 24th "No I won't tell you the
year", J.S. Clayden is the
vocalist and programmer for
left wing Nottingham band
pitchshifter. His vocal style has changed considerably over the past decade, improving with
age. All in all, Clayden is damned
cool.
Bumping into him outside the student's union in Manchester, I asked him why he was not doing the autograph signing in the city centre. "Because I'm hungover" came the simple response.
"It's a crazy idea, I know, but let's build houses for the homeless instead of giant domes for the tourists", political and taking no crap - he comments that Pitchshifter is about getting people to think instead of accepting what they read/hear in the news.
His energy, and slam dancing abilities have caused more than one concert to devolve into one big mosh pit (yes, I still have scars). But, most important of all....I kissed him.
