Band Members: Lead Person: Sir Michael Brooks. Sir Michael's assistant and biggest fan: Larry Brooks
Influences: Recently: James D Varieur, live at the I-911 club in the crazy and hip Charbonneau District.
Also, recently re-introduced to Paginni, Andres Segovia, William Kanengiser, Ana Vidovic (omg!), Roland Dyens, Narciso Yepes, Astor Piazzola ( currently I have slight case of man love for Astor), umm etc. etc.(i.e. favorite bands. this list is in no way meant to suggest that I sound like these people, they are just musicians that have really inspired me me over the decades)
The dirty three, The Mars Volta, Placebo, Cocteau twins, Dead Can Dance, Iron Maiden, Amy Winehouse, Loretta Linn, The Misfits, Bad Brains, Steve Vai, Al Di Meola, Radio Head, Janes Addiction, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Chopin, Andres Segovia, Cookie Pal, Nusrat Fate Ali Khan, Chris Ledoux, Stanely Jordan, Skinny Puppy, Covenant, alot of different old 4AD bands, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, The Make-up, Killers, Cynic, Propaghandi, Anacrusis, ... I think this list could go on for ever!!!.. Maria R., Dave M., and JR B. have all been awsome growing up with in many ways, but also in having a great source for finding new music. I can't think of any bands that they have introduced me to that I didn't eventually become in love with... So I thank them for that. I would probably still be listening to either Prince or Poison if it wasn't for their open minds and ears.
