~Ryan Valiente(Vocals/Guitars/Composer/Publisher)-
Raised on The Beatles, he saw his first guitar in the hands of his father, Valiente first 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.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SAN FRAN VOICE WEAPONS CD REVIEW SEPTEMBER 2007-----------
"Europa is a band that I would have loved in high school. Now hold on, I'm not dissing the band at all (eek, dissing, I think I just went back to high school!) It's just that, although I listen to a whole range of different music, my personal preferences have begun to lean towards softer, more lyrical songs in the last few years (I know, I know, I'm getting old). And Europa is anything but soft. They play an aggressive form of alternative rock music that never ever takes a breath. And they play it well.
It's the kind of music that makes you want to go crowd surfing,.... Or become a groupie.
Weapons isn't a Record that you can sit down to. It's not something I'd play in the background, It's music that grabs you by your heart and reminds you of that old bumper sticker you had on your car; "if you're not pissed off, you're not paying attention". It's a wake-up call that lets you know that there's nothing dead about the alternative rock scene in the Bay Area. And it's a wake-up call to me that maybe I should resume listening to music that can't just be played in the background."
Mark your calendar for THIS Sunday, October 18. Club Retro will be holding an event called Nightscape which is a night showcasing local talent from artists, photographers, poets, and musicians. Cover is only $3.00!
