Influences: P.G.'s influences are many, kind of spread out across genres so numerous and insanely tied together that by all rights this shit shouldn't work. Tom Spears' drumming is influenced by swing jazz and rockabilly as much as Bonzo inflected blues, Moonesque ferocity, and Pert-like tendencies... the Wolfman plays bass much in the style of Geezer Butler, only with more of a funky soul and an amazing improvisational spirit. Jeff "the Mouth" is well on his way to becoming the next Magic Dick, except for his experimental tendencies (i.e. using keys that shouldn't work and bending them so they do, giving it a more jazzy sound, or using effects like wah). Dick Navis is not a singer, per se. He is a fairly well-known and respected poet, and his stage act is very punk and hip-hop influenced. Sometimes he screams. Sometimes he talks to the audience. He almost always entertains and usually ends up collapsing. Tombstone comes from the Hendrix, Page, Clapton school of guitar... overdriven fuzz and wah, heavy blues, mostly improvisational. He wishes he could play more like Frank Zappa.
