Influences: Yeah Right. Type all the bands that 5 guys feel have influenced them for the past 40 years. I'd be typing for an hour. We love the 60's to early to mid 70's music and one weirdo was influenced by progressive rock bands from the early 70's. He says "You know while the "Laurel Canyon" scene was going on, bands in England and Europe were doing some very interesting things, YES they were". So to begin we can start with The Beatles, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Herman's Hermits, Them, The Byrds, Merry-Go-Round, Emitt Rhodes, Buffalo Springfield, Yardirds, Cream, ...as well as all the bands that spawned from the members of these bands. Not as evident, early Deep Purple, Yes, Genesis,and ELP. After you've checked out our music, stop the jukebox and check this Musical Dream to get the idea. We will expand the list later.
We love the electric instruments from the early days. Can you think of anything more fun than picking up a new vintage guitar or set of drums? We sleep with "visions of cool new guitars dancing in our heads". We play Gretch, Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker, Music Man, Martin, Tacoma, Taylor, Epiphone, Vox, Peavy, Hofner to mention a few. A list that will certainly expand.
