Gareth Christmann-Brown (all guitars, bass, keys, vocals and arrangements).
collaboration with Rachel Bond (vocals on "All This Time")
and Mark Jefferson (re-recorded bass on "I'm Under")
Influences
Death From Above, The White Stripes, Hendrix, Foo Fighters, Charlatans, Kings of Leon, Zero 7, Ennio Morricone, Feeder, Doves, The Stone Roses, Ian Brown, Nightmares on Wax, Thievery Corporation, DJ Shadow, New Order, The Dandy Warhols, Weller, Verve, Radiohead, Weezer, Manic Street Preachers, The Music, Electric Soft Parade, Air, any 60's garage punk, allsorts of everything and anything.
These songs are just me, playing all parts - guitars, bass, keyboards arrangements, recording, effects and vocals apart from percussion (bit of tambourine and maracas here and there but mainly sampled beats).
I'm not necessarily promoting myself here, but I do want to get some people together for the possibilty of playing live. I play with a couple of chums (drummer and bassist) now and again and it's all pretty laid back but none of us really sing so if you live in London and would be interested in doing something then get in touch. Cheers.
Thanks to Rachel Bond for vocals on "All This Time".
It's us again. How's life since the last time we spoke?
