About Me

snorb is Steve Bucklin and friends. Steve often completes personal information forms in the third person. Which seems odd to him. Steve vows to stop doing it as soon as possible. Steve plays 6 & 12 string acoustic guitars, electric guitar when the moon is low, percussive things, (especially gourds,) piano, Greek bouzouki, moon guitar, weird little flutes, finger pianos, harmonica and bass guitar. Not all at once of course. In stages.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/7/2005
Band Members: Steve Bucklin - Voice. Acoustic Guitar. Noises.

!

Tyler Gause - Voice. Acoustic Guitar

!

Nick Smith - Electric Upright Bass
Influences: Progressive and psychedelic rock of all sorts. Jazz of the Miles Davis variety. Jazz of the fusiony, no-one-likes-that-kind-of-jazz variety. Bob Dylan. Neil Young. Poets. Painters. Folks. The Schoolhouse Rock song about the number 9. Bands that are from Sweden. And the soundtrack to the movie, Krull .

!

Sounds Like: You always hope that you don't sound exactly like anyone else. You want your influences to guide and shape your own, new sound, with only a touch of obvious derivitivenessity. How successful I am at that is currently unknown. I hope that someone will listen to this music and comment on it in an intelligent and interesting way and then we'll all know a little more than we do now.

!

So far, our brave listeners have compared the snorbsounds to Graham Nash, (well, pretty much the whole CSNY family tree,) Tool (?! This might be my favorite and least expected comparison... I so wish!) Michael Stipe, (I tend to whine,) the love child of Radiohead and Alice In Chains, (which I will name Arnold,) Steve Winwood, Guided By Voices, old-timey blue-style-grass, (the smartest most compassionate man on earth said I sound a little like Steve Howe playing with Al Di Meola... and I didn't even have to pay him!!!) Michael Hedges, the buglight near the concession stand at the Acropolis, Bob Mould, Richard Thompson and that sound a whale makes when he realizes you're messing with him.

!

That's good work so far, but keep those comments coming, folks. This "Sounds Like" section isn't going to write itself! (Or is it?!)

Secrets

I can't keep secrets. AT ALL. Yesterday, snorb! went down to the newest, and possibly coolest, joint in town to baptize their stage with swirly goodness. Here's how it went down: The PMG, mighty r...

Labels

Hi, At a bar, recently, I was asked what fans of snorb! are called. As one of about 17 fans, (and an early one at that,) I felt that we should be called, "Allen." Allen is a nice name. This was, very ...

I should just take surveys...

I will admit that I have been a little off lately. It really isn't my style to be confessional. I'm more prone to exaggerated seriousness or reckless hilarity. The internet seems perfect for reckless ...

snorb as a trio

Hi everyone! Long time no blog, I know. Haven't had much to talk about, in truth, until recently. I posted three tracks from snorb's recent outing at the Skylight at Night Hookah Lounge. These three l...

10,000, 2008 and other numbers

Well... it looks as though snorb! will get it's 10,000th listen in the next few hours. As milestones for musicians go... it isn't much. Weird Al gets that many in a day, after all. But, for me, this i...
