My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/17/2006
Band Website: quangou
Band Members: quan gou
Influences: well i saw de la soul like in 89-90 and that got me pretty hype. then like a couple years later i saw common sense(before he had to change his name) at a step show in san diego doing stuff off of can i borrow a dollar, and that got me excited. saw the pharcyde in like 93' in a small club in escondido and was taken back. i also saw the beastie boys while they were on mushrooms and was amazed. so i guess listening and experiencing these kinds of groups influenced me not only as an artist, but also "trained" my ears in what i thought was dope. i'm also influenced by rock stuff too. i like modest mouse and the pixies a lot. i not only think they are good musicians, but good songwriters as well. what influences me also is the sounds of nature. i like the beach boys too, cause brian could reach those high notes.
Sounds Like: boogiemonsters and beastie boys.
