Band Members:
Influences: John PeelWe are also influenced by some wonderful people we have met, heard, seen and loved along the journey, who have kept us at our musical roots. In no particular order, we thank Mike Wood & The Acoustic Coyotes, Art Herman, Sancho, The Bee Hatchers, Thirst, The Milltown Brothers, The Rufus Show, The Marbles, Palomino, Flower Drum, Grenville's Gang, LK, EMF, Terrorvision, Twitch, Ben Mitchell for his purple turtles, Tom McRae, The Blues Brothers, Bob Dylan, Pearl Jam and The Blues Bar, Soho. We especially thank our special friends (you know precisely who you are) for letting us drag you to so many gigs by unknown bands over the past 16 years and our follks for getting us into great music as little nippers. We would also like to extend a big whiskey flavoured thank you to Brian Wright, Joe Purdy and their gentle L.A friends who have, without knowing, given us a whopping great kick up the ass to do this thing at last.
Sounds Like: We say:LABOUR IN VAIN:
“Labour In Vain are a head-on collision of dirty guitars, hurt words and raging hormones. Whatever they are on, we want some of it. In the meantime, we’ll settle for another of their live showsâ€THE VENUS GUNS:
"The thing we like about The Venus Guns is that they dont pretend to be anything other than what they are-a bunch of guys who just love playing music together. There is no strut, no pretence just some great songs played by some East End boys with big gusto. Buckcherry meets Free. Awesome!"BRIAN WRIGHT & THE WACO TRAGEDIES:
"Very rarely does a new album come along that sounds like an undiscovered classic. Dog Ears is the album you always kept in pristine condition on your record pile, the record you were sure to include on a special tape for new girlfriends. If you want music to warm your soul then Brian Wright & The Waco Tragedies are just what the Doctor ordered. Honest, homegrown melodies, and true stories that will leave you curious to the end of the album. Earle and Dylan should be watching their backs!"
