Superfinos VTO - ProfilesArchive

About Me

to tell ya the truth, at this point the music we're creating...well we just want it to be good. really good. music that you want to listen to more and more. music to make babies to. music to start riots to. everything We hear right now fits so perfectly genre-wise, which is right where we don't want to be. but we still want to be your favorite rock band. We think the only way to do both is to pay homage to the past but for god's sake take a fucking chance and create something new. rock for the (m)asses?

We are this week's featured band on the video blog Pacific Noise! Thanks John for all of your hard work with Pacific Noise and for caring so much for local music: Watch Superfinos VTO on Pacific Noise
Here's a video of us playing "For Those Who Have It All" acoustically at Mama Buzz Cafe in Oakland. We learned so much about ourselves and what we were capable of at this show. It was really a special time for all the bands involved...and it's good to know that the songs sound good when stripped down to the bare essentials:
more videos below! the first one shows how damn hard it is to record hand-claps. after much practice, we still need to re-record :-) the others are short clips from a great show we had at Retox Lounge, SF. Enjoy. Videos taken by Matteow

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/15/2006
Band Website: www.superfinosvto.com
Band Members: Kamal Hasan Hood:
Guitar, Vocals

Paul Dean Price III :
Bass, Vocals

Hasan Michael:
Drums

Influences: i HATE bands that act like they are ABOVE influences and try to act like they SO have a sound of their own when in actuality they sound just like mars volta/strokes/interpol/pick any band from the 60's. that's lame & you're not original you're just insecure. fucking man up, be honest and just put "we sound JUST like this band mixed with that band because we're trendy and nothing more".

anyways...this keeps changing, but here goes...

kamal likes: led zepellin, jeff buckley, nirvana, queens of the stone age, chuck berry, james brown, david bowie, hot snakes/drives like jehu, misfits, jimi hendrix, more to come...

Paul - What Kamal said stands for me as well. Although add Iggy , Melvins , Neurosis , Tom Waits , PJ Harvey , Pixies , and Life as well.

"The best influences are those that change your life, the way you think, and the way you feel. When I started playing music I aspired to be as good or better than the artists I listened to. However, know I aspire to be as talented as the musicians I play with.
