| BITS n PIECES: | Brian's parents was Scottish and American, with his father being an international banker, his early childhood was nomadic before spending the majority of his youth at Luxembourg. Brian later moved to London to study drama at Goldsmith College in which he has a degree. Whilst his father would have preferred that Brian followed him in having a career in banking, Brian had other ideas¡ persuing a musical career instead =) .. i think he's got a brother who followed in their fathers footsteps [¿] The make-up thing .. he started wearing at an early age in theatre .. so he was use to it. After moving to London he thought he'd "play it up" a littl' .. seeing as he was often mistaken as a female anyways¡ hmm .. says he likes woman's clothes because they fit him much better than men's do, and that there is far more variety than in menswear¡ =) Although he and Stefan attended the same private school in Luxembourg, they were in different social circles, as Brian was into theatre and not sports. Stefan and Brian met by chance 4½ years later outside South Kensington tube station in London. Brian met Steve through Steve's girlfriend @ the time [who also attended Goldsmiths College] at Burger King in Lewisham. @ the time Steve was in the band Breed and Brian use to see them play a lot. Although they jammed together, Steve had his commitments with Breed which prevented him from having a permanent place with Placebo. Nonetheless, Steve was still a consideration should the need arise¡ [which it did at a later date with the departure of Schultzberg]. Favourite drink: bloody mary & smokes: Marlboro lights [hEy .. there are some pples that may wanna know this¡ =þ] He's got a helluva dirty laugh¡ *LOL* luRv it¡ =) |
