Influences: Anyone who does something different - those who put themselves out there and do their own thing with STYLE . . .
Especially influential are the wonderful people who take the time to let us know what they think:
"I wish I was doing that!"
"I want to book you (at our club) 'cause that's what I call ENTERTAINMENT"
" . . . play more Van! . . . play more Van!"
" . . . I deserve a golden tambourine! (hic!)"
" . . . thankyou so much for making my 50th birthday party such a wonderful night. Everyone had a great time and lots of guests have passed on their comments about how great you were. . ."
"I was wearing your Tshirt to day for an event at the Japanese Gardens
so many people made a positive comment about it.
a girl said to me GREAT BAND! . . . keep on rocking girls!!!"
Sounds Like: A shiny spin on familiar tunes with fan-forced harmonies. Think Maroon 5 to Van Morrison, Corrs to Creedence, Badloves to Bananarama : if we like it - we do (musically speaking, ofcourse!!?)
We are pretty excited about adding some originals now too - yay ! :)
