Weak13 is the stage name of Nick Townsend. A British song writer who has slowly become one of the biggest names in underground music. A very hard working musician that uses music to make people listen. He created weak13 just thirteen weeks before the millenium. Nearly all of 'Nick Townsend's' music heroes had either died, overdosed, been murdered or ceased to exist by this date and something had to be done. The answer was form a band called Weak13 that would continue to play music highly inspired by some of the greatest bands, lryicists and riff writers on the planet, but to only exist for 13 years starting from the milenium.
I write music and call it Weak13, the music first became known as an underground band started by myself 13 weeks before the millenium, and designed to exist for 13 years after the millenium. The music by 2012AD will be the biggest anti-music industry act in the history of mankind. Weak13 plays every form of music, I exclude no one. There is a song for everyone. Grunge, techno, Thrash, Rock, Metal, Hip Hop, Death, Emotion, acoustic or anything else. I exist to please. BUT there is only ever 1 defined sound, the sound of Weak13.....me I have released several underground magazines in the UK and parts of europe such as 'BAN(ne)D magazine', 'Get Funked', 'P.M.T. magazine' and currently 'Nick The Mag'. Each magazine has become bigger and bigger and has increased in readership. 'Nick The Mag' has 15'000 readers. I have been organising music events in my hometown for 4 years too and gave birth to 'Redwoods Rock night', Kidderminster Rock Festival 2003-5 (Townhall) and DY10 underground night (2005). Im mainly a guitar player/vocalist but I'm mainly a songwriter and I call the music 'Weak13'.
I write the tunes and promote everything myself. As Weak13 I work with Matt Tarbuck aka NEUTRON TEARS (Bass guitar and fantastic sound engineer) and a horde of other people that I like jamming with. Music keeps me going. My favourite music is a difficult question. I love pretty much anything played with passion.
WEAK13 has released over 20'000 underground CD's in the past 3 years, In 2003 did it's first self funded national tour with no support from the music industry, I just went from town to town and played to people tht wanted to hear the music.
Few A&R people contact me with an offer and yet I do the same things that some of the greatest bands have ever done and do things they can't do. I just make music for all, I DON'T NEED 80 MILLION POUNDS like Robbie Williams does, I make my music by hand, promote it myself and break my back doing it, that's about it, Loads of fans everywhere, but the music industry in general is too ignorant to notice me or too worried about lowering itself to talk to me.
People have taken advantage of WEAK13 over the last couple of years, stolen ideas, but I don't care, you see I HAVE MILLIONS OF IDEAS. I ain't going to stop, and that's why people fear WEAK13. You can't stop people liking WEAK13.
