Band Members: Jean-Pierre Moya
Influences: It all began with The Beatles and The Beach Boys on the one hand, and The Stooges and The MC5 on the other. Then I discovered The Velvet Underground. But I really decided to start Rockomondo after listening to "Bare bone nest" by Finland's 22 Pistepirkko.

Sounds Like: A tasty gumbo of indie-rock and pop (mostly), folk, electronica, spiced with small doses of traditional and experimental sounds, all this without any music from the UK and the USA (except for the one that closes the show).
