My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/27/2007
Band Members:
Influences: "When I was in the 5th grade, my friend let me borrow some boy band CD. I went home, and put it on. My dad walked by my open door, stopped, went to his room and grabbed his copy of AC/DC Live. 'Here, try this,' he said to me. So i ejected the pop and put in the rock. I sat there and had my mind blown for hours on end listening to Angus Young just rip it. That's when I said I wanted to play guitar."-Kurt
Sounds Like: If, by the miricle of science, someone were to cross-breed Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Jack Johnson, Angus Young, and Anthony Kedis you would have something close to what Kurt Onipa'a plays.
Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: None
