Influences
I'm not gunna right a big list cause no one wants to read that. but i will say: Kurt Cobain, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Oasis, Beck, Guns n Roses, Gomez, rollin stones, buck cherry, and many many more..........................................................................
Some musicians i see in a small pub singing straight from there heart with meaning will always inspire me more than any manufactured crap on a huge stage.
Ok so i am a musician like everyone else, i started out in Oxford, England, playing at open mics to get used to the stage. then moved to Worthing near Brighton to study popular music for two years. I learnt a lot of theory but not much about the performance side as i spent most of my time dodging egos as they bounced of the walls.
i began to understand the different kinds of personalities in this crazy music world and to be honest i didn't connect with most of the people i was meeting
So after a lot of thought i decided to try the other side of the world in search of chilled out non egotistical musicians to start a rock band. Within a month in Thailand i had met loads of cool music lovers and before long my band was starting to form itself. I met Joe Cummings, a very cultured american guitarist and we clicked straight away. myspace.com/JoeCummings
After going through a few drummers and bass players we have ended up with a tight, kick arse rock band. We are called The Tonic Rays
Our debut album was released in Dec 2007 and is now available direct from us using PayPal for US$13 plus US$2 for shipping anywhere in the world. Just click 'Buy Now' below. You'll also find it on Amazon.com.
