Influences: Musical: Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Clash, Chuck Berry, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Queen, Burt Bacharach, Eagles, RHCP, Supergrass, Kinks, Jimmy Webb, Jackson Browne, Badfinger, Bad Company, Morrissey, Nirvana, Rachmaninov, Radiohead, RATM, Ritchie Blackmore, Sam & Dave, Police, Duran Duran, Waylon Jennings, Jimi Hendrix, Elliott Smith, Cat Stevens, Bread, Motown & Van Halen are a few who spring to mind.
Philosophical: Existentialism laces our lyrics. Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Greek mythology, Buddhism, Confucius, Lao Tzu, Upanishads and of course the Kama Sutra for lighter moods. Don Quixote always remains within reach. Who stole my dog-earred copy of Gogol?
Under the Influence of: fairly benign at this stage in life. Pilsner Urquell, a pint of English ale in a pub, Jack Daniels (Ja Mo), single malt Scotch (Da Ho), fine red wine but no booze for Kevin (he's the driver).
Secular: Shapes and curves dominate daydreams. Great cooking consumes evenings. JT programmes rhythms for dance tracks, which we prefer to keep secret. We advocate the destruction of televisions; death to the great vacuum! except when The Simpsons is on.
Sounds Like: Listeners often mention: Eric Clapton, Dire Straits, The Wallflowers, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Rea, The Eagles, Leonard Cohen, David Bowie, Chris Isaak, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, Soundtrack for a David Lynch or Quentin Tarantino movie.
