Mike Gorridge - Drums & Vocals

"..."started off playing bass, got bored. Then moved on to rythmn guitar, got bored. Then progressed onto lead guitar, got bored. Then moved on to lead vocalist, too easy, got bored.Then decided to become a real musician and become a drummer. Ha Ha!"

Been in Dirty Trix since day 1 and have seen lots of musicians come and go through the years. Dirty Trix was started by Chris Ryan (bass player) who was the original driving force behind the band. Chris left the band about 7 years ago and now lives in Florida. He will always be missed in Dirty Trix but he plays in a great US rock band called Nation.
My musical influences include: Pink Floyd, Skin, Thunder, Rush, DreamTheatre, AC/DC, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple and lots of others besides. Modern day influences: Papa Roach, Muse, Trivium, Stone Sour, Creed etc.
Great drummers - Tommy Aldridge, Mick Tucker, Ian Paice.

Apart from me and Sally (my lovely girly) riding motorbikes, theres nothing like playing good hard rock music to an audience who appreciates it.
A special thanks to all the people who have supported Dirty Trix through the years.
Adios my hardrocking Amigos! ..."
