About

“If you like what is clearly a celebration of the English language, you should go to augstone.com” – Jackie Kashian, Dork Forest

I write words and music, sometimes together.

For comedy, see Young Southpaw.

I write about music, books, comics, film, and healthy eating. My work has appeared at The Quietus, Under The Radar, The Comics JournalRed Bull Music Academy, Shindig!, The Big Takeover, Brooklyn Vegan, Dazed magazine, Clash Music online, Southern Pacific Review, and other sites and mags. In 2020 I published my Nick Cave’s Bar memoir, available everywhere online and in shops across the U.S., U.K., Europe, and Australia. In 2014 I published my first comedy novel, Off-License To Kill.

For music, check out Aug Stone & The Love Conspiracy, The Soft Close-Ups, H Bird, Eiscafe, AUNTIE, rock stone, and Lullaby Oscillator. I used to play bass in Rockets Burst From The Streetlamps, and guitar in Lifestyle and The Texas Governor.

In April 2016, Bill Drummond interviewed me. We spoke about POP Music & Love, Van Halen & The Smiths, music and writing, and much else in between. The video below will give you a pretty good idea “about me”.
