Band Members:
Humbly mild mannered H. Arriaga, AKA St-Vn...
Influences: My influences covers the past 25 or so years of UK alternative/post punk/new wave/shoegaze/indie/mod/drum n bass/ambient/electronica/trip hop/techno/electroclash....etc. etc. etc...
Which basically means from The Cocteau Twins to the Aphex twin and EVERYONE ELSE IN BETWEEN...LOL!!!
A special shout out to my fave band in the whole world SLOWDIVE and, lest I forget, Portishead who comes respectively close (top 5)...
Then...there's my freinds who have influenced the way I LISTEN, WRITE AND MIX my music and they are...
asymmetrical head
HEX
A. S. I.
I owe a lot to these three...click on them and you'll see what I mean!
One last thing...
HEX (off and on), asymmetrical head (very briefly) and THIS band...
darvoset (twice)...
are a few of my past band experiences from my very dead, albeit, well learned nineties...
I'll always appreciate what they taught me about myself as a musician...thanks guys!
Sounds Like: Generally...
Aphex Twin/Portishead/techno like beats, Depeche mode/JoyDivision/electro like basslines, smiths/cure/alternative like guitar, and last , but CERTAINLY not least, Cocteau Twins/Slowdive/"shoegaze" like soundscapes and arrangements...
I change it up a bit here and there, for diversity and to avoid monotony, so you don't hear the same thing ALL of the time...but you get the point...
in the end, I guess it's up to YOU to decide what I sound like, no? Oh well, I hope you enjoy!!!
Record Label: Indie...meaning just me, myself and I!!!
Type of Label: None
