HIS OWN DISTINTIVELY INSPIRATIONAL GRAPHIC WORK SPEARHEADING THE DOODLEBUG VISION.

DOODLEBUG'S INTRO OF THE WORD DETONATION HAS SINCE BEEN BORROWED BY OTHERS IN A LESS THAN EFFECTIVE MANNER. DOODLEBUG EVENTS NOT ONLY INTRODUCED UNKNOWN ARTISTS BUT INSPIRED THOSE WHO ATTENDED WAY BEYOND A NIGHTCLUB ENVIRONMENT. HENCE...THERE IS CHANGE.

WHERE THE MANCHESTER OF THE STONE ROSES, HAPPY MONDAYS, NEW ORDER AND BUZZCOCKS WAS TOO OFTEN BOILED DOWN BY OUTSIDERS TO A ROCK-AND-DRUGS CARICATURE, ITS REALITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN MORE DIVERSE AND SLIGHTLY MORE REFINED. DOODLEBUG CAPTURES THAT WITH A BANG.- MARC STARR:JACK MAGAZINE
