Band Members: "Bass Invader" (click here to get it):

Martin Motnik - Bass
Gregg Bissonette - Drums

Special guest: Mattias "IA" Eklundh - Guitars
Influences: Billy Sheehan, John Entwistle, Flea, Mark King, Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Joe Satrinai, and almost everybody I ever heard! You can learn something from everybody!
Sounds Like: I try to find my own sound, but some people said you can hear Billy Sheehan's influence in my playing very much. I take that as a huge compliment! Besides that, I'm trying to bring out sounds that you would not expect from a bass guitar. Ok, others have played basses with distortion pedals before too, but have you ever played your bass with a toothbrush...?
