Hey there

My name's Tess and I really am no good at trying to sum myself up for this kind of purpose! I'm a pretty easy going kind of chick who loves having a few brews with my loved ones most especially with some good tunes for company too. I love all types of music excluding candy store pop which makes my ears bleed, body shudder and uncontrollable screaming escape from my mouth. I love having a good old boogie whether that's cutting it up to electro, jumping and bouncing and generally rocking out to some crazy ass guitar and bass or occasionally you'll find me doing an interesting cross between the two; a sight to be seen I'm sure!
