My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/15/2004
Band Members: Arum Rae Valkonen-vocals/guitar, Justin Dick-lead guitar, Mike Redmond-bass, Tyler Newberry-drums, and sometimes, the best times, Leslie Wood on snare
Influences: Elvis, the Judds, Hank SR., Ella Fitzgerald, Billie H., Bob Dylan, Gilean Welch, Drive By Truckers, Zepplin, Johnny Cash, Outkast, Hendrix, Tom Waits, Ricki Lee Jones, Donny Hathaway, Roberta Flack, Muddy Waters, Nina Simone, JJ Cale, Yardbirds, White Stripes
Sounds Like: . . . a furious backwater slide guitar workout, with a wink and a nod to vintage Yardbirds, Time Out of Mind-era Dylan (think “Million Miles” hopped-up on Texas medicine and railroad gin) and even a sideways glance at the spirit of PJ Harvey’s trashcan demos, on tape, emotion-drenched, post-modern minimalist blues with just her yearning vocals, electric hollow-bodied guitar and simple percussion. "The Connect" Savannah GA
Record Label: Hyperrealist
Type of Label: Indie
