He wasn’t just a musician - he was an illustrator, a comic book author, and most of all a fan.In 2015 he was in Australia performing at the Soundwave festival off the back of his debut solo album Hesitant Alien and supporting the Smashing Pumpkins so I grabbed the chance to Take 5.Supergrass - ‘Caught By The Fuzz’David Bowie - ‘Five Years’Iggy & the Stooges  - ‘Search and Destroy’Sleater-Kinney - ‘I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone’Pulp - ‘This Is Hardcore’
