Influences: Though our influences are broad, sweeping all manner of conventional as well as unconventional music, a few stand out in particular as having left a lasting and meaningful impression on us. These include Robert Fripp, Desmond Dekker, Philip Glass, Jorge Ben, Phish, Fela Kuti, James Brown, Grateful Dead, The Meters, Jack DeJohnette, Brian Eno, Funkadelic, David Bowie, King Crimson, The Who, Herbie Hancock, Genesis, Devo, Frank Zappa, and Miles Davis. Lyrically speaking, we are influenced by Kurt Vonnegut, Joseph Heller, Neil Young, Tom Marshall, Ian Anderson, Bernie Taupin, Tom Waits, Peter Gabriel and Kilgore Trout. Much like theirs, ours is a timeless story told in rhyme and song.
