About Me

Experiment in soundscapes, songs, and myspace exposure

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/12/2007
Band Website: nada ...
Band Members: Michael
Influences: Melodic Rock, more Brit than American .... lots of Amerikan Indie Rawk ... lots of melodic stuff from "Comboland" (NC) - Let's Active, the db's, and more ... From the Southern Hemisphere - The Church, Martin Phillips and the Chills, early Hoodoo Gurus ... the crossroads of jazz and country, some jazz & classical guitar, some "hard" country/honky tonk of the 60s and 70s, string band music, old Chicago Blues, Bulgarian choral music, the stories that haven't been told, the stars above, the “characters” I’ve met throughout life … I like it when it pops AND it rocks!
Sounds Like: Short grunts of musical inspiration punching through the isolation and fog that is Piedmont NC
Record Label: You've got to be kidding ...
