Band Website: Chinmoy & Adrian
Band Members: Adrian Power: Guitar/Vocals, Chinmoy Panigrahy: Guitar/Banjo
Influences: ADRIAN: My parents listened to (and as a result I was exposed to, at a formative age) The Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Bowie, Grand Master Flash, Janice Joplin, Miles Davis. At least these are some of the records that exist in my families cardboard history. I dont actually recall listening to them though they now sound familiar and comforting. Exploring music on my own, Nirvana led me into such artists as The Dead Kennedys and The Butthole Surfurs. Eventually...well I guess Ill just list some bands I really enjoy. R.L Burnside, Skip James, Elmore James, Iron and Wine, Ravi Shankar, Snapcase, Nick Drake, Bjork, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Belle and Sebastian, DJ Shadow, DJ Spookie, Hank Williams, Tom Waits, John Hammond...man, so many more. I know I forgot essential ones. Maybe Ill add more later. Maybe not.CHINMOY: I started off listening to a lot of heavier/louder/faster music as a teenager and as I began playing the guitar, I got into instrumental guitar music as well as improv/jam bands and eventually jazz. Nowadays , I'm inspired by artists like Interpol, Oh My God, Iron and Wine, Coldplay, Miles Davis, Radiohead, Nick Drake, The Killers, The Rapture, Charlie Hunter, Gorillaz, Segovia, Bjork, Ravi Shankar, Portishead, John Scofield, John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
