Band Members: Sachin Doshi - Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Keyboards Oliver Buchert - Bass, Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards Billy MacKeigan - Drums, Precussion, Backing Vocals
Influences: An incomplete list might read - Beatles, Stones, Smokey, Stevie, Otis, Beach Boys, Kinks, Zombies, Prince, Guns and Roses, James Jamerson, Girl Groups, The Shins, New Pornographers, Sly and the Family Stone, Spoon, Blur, Pulp, Super Furry Animals, Van Morrison, Elvis I and II, Cornershop, The Coasters, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, The Bangles, The Go-Go's, Al Green, and just for posterity, James Brown and Bob Dylan (all of which amounts to something like wishful thinking).
Sounds Like: Some kind of Top 40 apotheosis (which means, say, 1965), squeezing elements of the British Invasion, Brill Building, Motown, and Country through the last 28 years of radio, and blending it into one synthesized whole. Though it also may sound like shit...
Type of Label: None
