Band Website: myspace.com/harlequinorchestra
Band Members: There is a lot of good people featured on these recordings. great players too, some of them muahahaha....you can click on some of my top friends and you will also be able to listen to some of the music we recorded with other projects...
Influences: Well, I have to say that the 2 albums that made me pick up my first bass were Zap Mama's "seven" and Marcus Miller's "live and more". From then on I went through a lot of listening, growing and exploring and ended up liking a shit load of music ! Everything that has that certain "soul" combined with "balls" (and a little bit of dirt) ends up in my playlists a lot.....
Sounds Like: ...Peter Kastner ! good to check out others, but get your own voice ! (someone said that already...but not with that low voice)
