Band Members: Sam Masich aka. Aldous Orwell:
Check out this new performance video ! This 'Aldous Orwell Show' : took place at the Cellar Jazz: : club in Vancouver BC and features Sam Masich as Aldous Orwell,: Glenda Rae singinging BG's, Miles Black on piano, Mark James Fortin on guitar, Rene Worst on bass and Tony (Tonehenge) Chamberlist on drums.
Influences: Everything. I cover a lot of topics in my songwriting, not just horny guy songs. Friends influence me the most. In the past few years, Michael Friedman and Mark James Fortin , two great guitar playing singer-songwriters have influence me the most. We play in a band called 'FFM' (Friedman, Fortin & Masich) together and I learn a lot from them when we write songs and tour. You can find out about their influences on their own MySpace sites and on the FFM page as well.
For about four years I did an all original duo act with Christine Duncan who has a great jazz, gospel, soul foundation and this influenced the way that I play a lot as well.
As far music goes I've always liked off-beat stuff. In the old days it was a lot of proggy stuff: Pink Floyd, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Bowie, Fripp: , etc., then for about ten years I only listened to jazz. Now I like listening to Antony and the Johnsons, Greg Brown, Herbert Grönemeyer: and avante-gardish classical. I can get into most anything if its good and if its real.
Lately I've been walking along seawall in Vancouver a lot with my 3 month old son and listening to Michael Franti and Spearhead: .
