About Me

We get butterflies in our stomach every time we swallow butterflies.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/8/2005
Band Website: themetroids.com
Band Members: Garmond Louis Butterfeld The II, Nathaniel Kundanis Growtherman and Andrew "Big Willy" Heraldovious.
Influences: They Might Be Giants, The Cars, Of Montreal, The Unicorns, The Magnetic Fields, The Kinks, Built to Spill, The Pixies, The Zombies, Tom Petty, Guided by Voices. I don't know how much of this shows though. These are just bands that I like a lot and might come through in the song writing.
Sounds Like: We tend to play songs that go places and move. A lot of times they're kinda fractured such and I never really learned how to play keyboard, so I play keyboard like a rhythm guitar. We're trying to expand our sound a bit, but classic Metroids sounds a bit like They Might Be Giants more serious stuff, maybe. I don't know if that's actually true or not. You tell us what we sound like, please.
Record Label: Scratch and Sniff records.
Type of Label: Indie
