Band Members: It was decided that tribute bands were becoming so succesful that it was time to start the "Dave Brons Tribute Band", several names were considered, eg "Dave Bronze Band", "Going for Brons, settling for third best". Steve Vai was contacted to front the tribute band, and politely declined saying that he had never heard of Dave Brons, and he had bee-keeping to do. In the end, it was decided to contact Dave Brons himself to front the band. At first Dave was a bit confused about it all, but as soon as he realised that he Had heard of his namesake, he accepted gladly. The great thing about all this is that, because the real Dave Brons is now fronting the tribute band, there is no need for any silly, witty sound alike names. Hence the simple "Dave Brons" title on the myspace page. I can't believe you have bothered to read this far. Thanks though.
Influences: I started out listening to Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I was also influenced a lot by Spanish and Arabic music because I grew up in southern Spain. In 1992 I heard Steve Vai play and I guess that he is my main influence.
Sounds Like: Well, I guess I sound a bit like a cross between Steve Vai, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Blues Saraceno...A rock guitarist who likes a bit of weirdness in my music
