Band Members: Senior Bean. Just me on this stuff.
Influences: My eyes. My ears. My nose. My tongue. My skin. Don Van Vliet, Weird Science and Gene Wilder. Beautiful women. Hangovers. The bus timetable and my alarm. Writer's block and subsequent frustration. One cup of morning coffee and the stink of batter from the adjacent chippy. The F-IRE Collective. Not being able to catch your breath when the wind is in your face. Ennio Morricone. Holding it in on public transport when it would be far easier to let it out. Josh Homme. Confluences of words that remind you you're no one else. Sugar and salt and fat. Chiwetel Eijofor and Boris Johnson. Anyone who writes and plays music. Jacques Brel. Real Panic. All jokes. Jeff Buckley. The beautiful game. Seminal literature. Jeff Bridges. All Day Breakfast in a tin. All of the people who provided and with whom I share my life. And myriad else not currently at the bubbling surface of my consciousness. Oh and once again Erast Fandorin.
Sounds Like: A whole bunch of things I've heard and which I've pinched, for want of a better word.
Type of Label: Major
