About Me

Psychedelic Deja Vu can only be described as Awesome in its purest form. PDV is a band that takes influence from all styles of music, from Rock, to Classical. The guitarist, and lead songwriter is Matt Cruz, he is heavily influenced by John Lennon and similar artists, he writes heartfelt, deep, and sometimes angry music that can tear at your heart and soul. Mike Lloyd is the lead guitarist, he brings a lot of experience and talent to the band. Bob Stoll is the rythm guitarist, he is talented, and is a great songwriter, he has composed songs for PDV, and they tend to bring the listener into a state of thought beyond that of most music. Rich Moses is the bassist, with a heavy influence from John Entwistle and Paul McCartney, and a lot of Indie and Alternative rock, especially the Elephant Six collective, he adds an important part to the PDV equation. Dan Wallach, the drummer, is not your typical drummer, drawing influence from John Bonham and Keith Moon. The band was formed in Levittown, New York in 2006, It was the combination of Stoll, Moses, and Wallach's "Rolling Stolls" and Cruz and Lloyd's "Panoramic Friday" PDV has appeared on The Bob Show, and have played various locations in New York City and Long Island, New York. In 2009, PDV looks to play more shows, record an album, and write more music. Cruz, Lloyd, Moses, Stoll, and Wallach are on a mission, and may god help us all.
There's some more stuff coming here, really, really soon. Just wait, and you will see why Psychedelic Deja Vu is indeed Awesome, in its purest form.
