01 Hate Wastes You Away

Im Ed Clayton-Jones. I am a Songwriter, I play the guitar, the Bass, the Piano,lots of things but I haven't mastered the drums yet although I love playing them. I have played professionally since age 17 when punk rock was changing everything. Ive played with lots of people, notably Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Wreckery, Rowland S. Howard, Mick Harvey and Noah Taylor and the Sloppy Boys. The Solo groups i made were Clayton-JonesTown, Good Men Down and The Swordsmen. Ive been playing with my drummer Gene Maynard as Chordblood for the past few years. Im recording new Solo material for release later this year with engineer and Producer/Collaborator Marc Scully of Omegaman fame. I'll post teasers from the album as the release date looms closer but for now Im sharing all sorts of great old demo's and anything interesting I can think of. A web page is in the works, should be up soonish. I hope you enjoy these tracks as a bit of history before new material becomes available. Thanks for Listening.
