Member Since: 8/21/2007
Band Website: theultravioletrays.com
Band Members: Anthony J. Maldonado, AxJx, and countless others... (Michael Trinsey played drums on about half the album, Augustus played the keys) ..................................................... Support the arts..... CD available at cdbaby.com
Influences: The Beatles, Counting Crows, Bob Dylan, R.E.M., Oasis, Nirvana, Donovan, Sheryl Crow, Pink Floyd, Simon & Garfunkel, Ravi Shankar, the Carpenters, Green Day, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, all the classic pop/rock from the 1950s/60s that helped shape my understanding of songwriting (i.e. The Mamas & The Papas, The Beach Boys, The Hollies, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Zombies, The Dave Clark Five, The Rolling Stones, Herman's Hermits, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Gary Lewis & The Playboys, The Searchers, etc.) stuff you'd hear on K-Earth(old format)... as well as classic rock of the 1960s/70s , and more...90s alternative rock, basically everything I've ever listened to has entered my subconscious... so you decide.
Sounds Like: I've heard: George Harrison, early David Bowie, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Love, Donovan, Syd Barrett (of the Pink Floyd). Some songs sound more like Nirvana, Weezer, or Smashing Pumpkins.In actuality, every song sounds like itself, it told me what it wanted to sound like via the muse
Record Label: Mighty Meltdown Records
Type of Label: Indie
