My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/6/2006
Band Members: serafina steer
sarah scutt- remains unpursuaded.
capitol k
mike lindsey, of tunng. the band heralded as bastions of folktronica slightly unwillingly because no one knows what it is and they fear they have set up a new budget car rental company.
horton jupiter, musician and full time star (see www.myspace.com/theycamefromthestarsisawthem)

none of these people are in my band.

Influences: seems like at the moment listening to max tundra, mark e smith, virginia woolf, young marble giants, flying lizards, deerhoof, tainted love, bob dylan, the french, kate bush, penguin cafe orchestra, the cure, laurie anderson, minimalism but in awful pastiche pop way probably, berioolivia, leonard cohen, cocteau twins, the leanover is a good song, john dowland, peter cook, ee cummings, fleetwood mac-everywhere, the chap, dave maric, capitol k, leafcutter john,bach, john cooper clarke, stravinsky, though i can't say it influences much, guess there's a fair bit of blondie in't,broadcast, lush, tunng. always end up wingey sounding but try not to be too miserable ; hmm influence or anti-influence,, noisy neighours,older brother, older sister, bitter old teachers oh dear probably bjork.resonance fm, kora, mbire, lutes, marimba's, lo-fi electronica particularly accompnying 80's pop.foul mouths. there i've written enoough for none of it to really stand out. i'll just hide this with david bowie, war of the worlds at burgess park firework display every year til i was 11, talking heads, harp. saul bellow, johnny cash, umberto eco, misha, final fantasy, cooking, weather/light/temperatures, john maus, .. its good to have phases
Record Label: Static Caravan
Type of Label: None
