Band Website: you can try to click here, but nothing will happen
Band Members: biro: bass (read basses. mainly a Peavey TL-Six, but also a Peavey G-Bass V and a H&S Sequoia 6-string fretless), laptop programming, a series of woodwind instruments, and even a few necklaces of my girlfriend's (when she let me do it. and don't worry, no necklace has been injured yet). yes, i'm also known as niccolò ridi, but it's fun to chose your own pseudonym. even the pope does, so i feel legitimate to do the same. the moral is: if he can, why can't we?
Influences: namedropping is actually one of the lamest things on earth. but i'll try to do my best naming some of my greatest influences. After reading this list, you may feel a slight mental confusion, but don't worry: this is only due to the complete disorganization of this listing.Thelonious Monk, Frank Zappa, Tool, Béla Bartok (and Béla Lugosi, as well.
