| Member Since | 9/21/2006 | | Influences | Galliard set out as an extremely eclectic band on their debut LP,
Strange Pleasure. They juxtapose a woodwind/horn section slyly with rural
compositions, creating a pastoral, even medieval atmosphere, starkly contrasting
to nervously urban passages, although they borrow from Art Nova's "Wrapped Her
In Ribbons" and give the credits to Geoff Brown. An interesting effort. New
Dawn is even more schizophrenic. Hosts of wind parts over a tight rocking
backdrop are estranged with naggingly dissonant sitar on the highlight, "Ask For
Nothing", a strongly philosophical number.
Dave Caswell also played on Keef Hartley Band's legendary Overdog
and The Time Is Near albums (together with Lyle Jenkins) as well as with
Ashton Gardner & Dyke, Kevin Ayers, John Entwistle,
Paice Ashton & Lord, Leigh Stephens and Chris Youlden. Lyle Jenkins played
with Ashton Gardner & Dyke, Kevin Ayers, Leigh Stephens and Silverhead.
