lucifer94uk's Profile

Greetings! My real name is Duncan Lewis Jowitt and I am happily separated (ie I'm still good friends with my wife). I'm based in Blackpool, England, sing in a rock band and have 3 kids (one of each). I became a grandad while still in my forties...

I began using Octamed on the Amiga in 1993 and released several floppy disks of mods via PD libraries in the UK in 1994-96 under the names Lucifer and Lewis "Cypher".

These included a disk of very primitive punk rock songs entitled "Cyber Punk Rock", which contained what I understand may be the first two full length vocal songs (covers of the Ramones songs "Beat On The Brat" and " I Don't Care") released on floppy.

A follow up two-disk collection, cunningly titled "Cyber Punk Rock Volume 2" had four other full Ramones covers and one original on it. That may seem like Ramones overkill but it helped to get it noticed and it received positive reviews in now extinct magazines CU Amiga and Amiga Pro.

All my other mods were self-penned and I'll upload as much as the site moderators think is of good enough quality.

Still using Octamed but for its MIDI capabilities, I recorded and released 2 CD albums as Mockingbone in 1996 and in 1997. Quite a few of the songs on those albums reworked earlier tracker mods with additional intrumentation and UFX songs "The Process" and "The Cutting" on the "Reverse Engineering" album both started life as mods as well.

My past misdemeanors...

In 1977, using the alias Duncan Disorderly, I was in punk rock band Urban Void before joining Section 25 in 1978 just as they were making their first live appearances (several years before they were signed to Factory Records). I formed my own band Final Solution as vocalist/guitarist in 1979, changing the band name in 1980 to Another Dimension and in 1982 to Zoo Boutique.

Zoo Boutique's first release "Love Like a Clown" was included on the 12 inch compilation EP "A Drop in the Ocean" and our only single "Forgive and Forget"/"Happy Families" received national UK prime-time airplay on BBC Radio 1 but failed to chart. This proved to be the height of Zoo Boutique's "success" and I finally folded the band in 1985.

I've been the vocalist in several other rock bands. Some have gained a degree of infamy (Headhunters, Shining Sons and Pink Torpedoes in the 1980s and 90s) and in 2000, I was lured out of singing retirement and have since toured and recorded with UFX (Uncle Fester) and Boneyard Zombies.
