Slave to the King

About Me

Europa [yur-ROH-pah] n.- A unique moon of Jupiter with a surface among the brightest in the solar system consquence of a frozen crust, named from the Greek mythology of Zeus and his enslaved mortal bride- Europa-ergo; means-"Slave to the King". Europa has performed over 100 shows, playing through out California.~Ryan Valiente(Vox/Guitars/Composer/Publisher)-Was raised on The Beatles and saw his first guitar in the hands of his father, who mostly played A Hard Days Night. Valiente discovered Nirvana, then The Pixies, this was the sound he was looking for. Greatly influenced by the Beatles (John Lennon), Nirvana (Kurdt Cobain) and the Pixies (Black Francis Black), his initial desire to be a guitar player, gave way to that of singer/songwriter. ~Intensity/Integrity/Honesty~
