:
Eye of the Jedi:check out our official profile here on my space at http://www.myspace.com/infernophonic :
: besides my own shit, at the top of my list is Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Eek A Mouse, and pretty much any old-school reggae and dub (not so much today's dance-hall rip-off shit, except for stuff coming straight out of Jamaica). I also love any kind of ska, whether it be english beat or rancid. :
: i love Latin music, of course, especially cuban and afro-cuban salsa and mambo (it's in my blood, baby!). i love benny more's mambos. i can't sit down if he's playing. also bolero, samba, rumba, merengue. I also dig the gypsy kings because they mix it all up. :
: moving on, i am a very big fan of jam music. Phish, The String Cheese Incident, widespread panic, Moe, Medeski, Martin and Wood, the grateful dead, of course. i love it all. :
:the blues, in all forms. :
: CSNY, Pink Floyd, Yes, ELP, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Who, Janis Joplin, Santana, deep purple, Boston, Warren Zevon, BTO, War, Lynard Skynard, The Black Crowes, AC/DC, Van Halen, Blondie. how about I just say i dig on classic rock. :
: funk and soul also do it for me in a big way. James Brown, Parliament Funkadelic, Tower of Power, earth, wind and fire, the meters, aretha, al green, stevie wonder, kc and the sunshine band (sorry, they were funky as hell), the brothers johnson, george benson, etc. :
: i enjoy just about all oldies music, from doo-wop to old shcool R&B, psychadelic 60's, British Invasion, 70's pop, disco, heavier stuff, prog rock like king crimson, and experimental shit like mahavishnu orchestra and frank zappa. :
: I didn't think I'd ever refer to '80's music as oldies, but let's face it, it's oldies now! pil, new order, and the sugarcubes stand out for me, but i was into it all. pop, new wave, punk rock, and all the shit MTV was playing that you'd never hear on the radio until MTV played it, like Haircut 100 and The Fixx, Adam and the Ants, the Psychadelic Furs, Flock of Seagulls, Big Country, Madness, Duran Duran, INXS, Depeche Mode, Eurhythmics (I love Annie Lennox!). :
: 90's music was pretty lame overall, except for hip-hop (which was only jammin' back then, like Rob Base, Naughty By Nature) and there were also some great club/dance artists like Black Box and what not. and I've got to mention 311, one of my fave bands, also sublime, Lauryn Hill, No Doubt, Chilli Peppers, Life of Agony, Metallica (I know, their career started in the '80's, but they rocked straight through the '90's and all the way up to the present), Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, guess I should throw in Madonna since she's been around since forever but really came into her own in the '90's, also Michael Jackson. sorry, he just makes me wanna dance. :
: heading into this century i've gotta start with techno/dj/electronica/rave music. yeah! Daft Punk, Rabbit in the Moon, Paul Oakenfold, Union Jack, Chemical Brothers, Fat Boy Slim, Frankie Bones, Thievery Corporation. :
: and today's music??? Wait, I've gotta go puke... :

(rent it, it's mind-blowing), Fight Club, all Hitchcock flicks, the 5th Element, Friday ("You got knocked the fuck out!"), the Nutty Professor (I'm sorry, but those scenes at dinner with the family where Eddie Murphy plays all the characters makes me bust a gut time and time again! "C'mon Cletus!!! Don't let the grey hair fool you, I 'aint no easy win, nigga!"), the Matrix movies, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Triplets of Belleville, Flatliners, The Lost Boys (hells yeah! :

: anything Ewan Macgregor was in, anything Liam Neeson was in (except Darkman!), anything Christian Bale was in, some Steven Soderberg (Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Solaris, Traffic, Far From Heaven, Full Frontal, Ocean's 11 and 12, Erin Brokovich, etc.), any Coen Brothers (Raising Arizona, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Man Who Wasn't There, Intolerable Cruelty, Barton Fink, etc.), all Quentin Tarantino, as a writer, director, producer (like including stuff he wrote only, True Romance, Natural Born Killers, etc), any Kevin Smith, Sling Blade, My Left Foot, Quills (and pretty much anything Geoffrey Rush was in), anything Johnny Depp was in, lots of Tom Hanks movies. all Adam Sandler movies, anything Madeline Kahn was in, all pixar movies like A Bug's Life, Ice Age, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and some old shit like A Clockwork Orange (also one of my all time faves) as well as any Stanley Kubrick (Full Metal Jacket another fave of mine), Heavy Metal, all Woody Allen movies. he kills me. ok, time to quit. I could die filling this section out completely! :
:Television: :

Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia, the Four Loves, the Screwtape Letters, etc.), any Phillip K. Dick, Tolkien, Dickens, Jane Austen, Hemingway, George Orwell, John Steinbeck, Thomas Hardy, and although he didn't write books, Shakespeare is one of my favorite authors. :
: Heroes: :
: See my first paragraph in the "I'd like to meet" section, but leave out Che Guevara. he was interesting and unique, and a hero to some, but not to me or any other cuban. and although I'm not religious in any way, I'd defintiely say Jesus was a hero. he pretty much defines the word. :

Influences: elaine: :
:I'd been singing along to the radio and my dad's records and 8 tracks since as far back as I can remember. He had albums by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Janis Joplin, Santana, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and The Doors and listened to mostly oldies radio stations, so that music and those artists were my earliest inspirations and the reasons I became an artist. I've been performing since age 7 and always knew music was my life. As I grew older I found I was primarily interested in and moved by music that was socially and spiritually focused, such as my biggest influences, Bob Marley, John Lennon (and the Beatles), and Pink Floyd. Phish and the Grateful Dead have also had a huge impact on me as an artist and a person. I've been musically inspired by funk, soul, and R&B artists such as James Brown, Stevie Wonder, P-funk and Aretha Franklin. Latin music also has influenced me, specifically Afro-Cuban, as my mother is Cuban and I was raised listening to some of the most influential Latin artists like Benny More. I began studying classical piano at age 11 and was musically educated at Westminster Choir College (classical, choral music, opera, voice performance) which afforded me the opportunity to perform at such presitigous, legendary venues as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center (NYC) under world-famous conductors like Leonard Bernstein, Robert Shaw, and Ricardo Muti. I have been performing and recording professionally as a vocalist for over 10 years. :
:infernophonic: :
:Each member of infernophonic has their own unique musical tastes and influences. Kevin, Pat, and ross are true metal heads who have also been influenced by many other diverse artists ranging from Blue Oyster Cult and Iron Maiden to Graham Central Station, Black Sabbath, Steve Vai, Bootsie Collins, Steve Harris, The Meters, jimi hendrix, john paul jones and Peter Tosh, and I have been influenced by artists ranging from Phish and P-Funk to Bob Marley and CSNY, 311 to Pink Floyd, yes to john lennon and the beatles, and vocalists such as Martha Wash, Ann Wilson, Brad Delp, Steve Perry, Cyndi Lauper, and annie lennox. Infernophonic's main influences range from Betty Davis (Miles Davis’ ex wife and former mistress of Jimi Hendrix), James Brown, P-Funk, and Sly and the Family Stone to Rage Against the Machine, Led Zeppelin, the Chili Peppers, Deep Purple, and heart. :
