Influences
all the stuff we like from Woody Guthrie to My Bloody Valentine...current listenin C86, mo-town and Ariel Pink, egoless enunciation of exact phrasings, old bards , minstrels, cowboys and lawyers. Tape hiss.
Mojave 3 formed from the ashes of Slowdive in 1994. Rachel, Ian and Neil decided that distortion was fun but they wanted to make some thing that you could play on an acoustic gtr. The first album "Ask Me tomorrow" came out that year on 4AD Records , and was followed 2 yrs later by " Out Of Tune". the sound had moved on from slow country to mid-slow tempo country -rock..right-on... Alan forester had joined the band with his large c3 hammond organ, and Simon "Rosie " Rowe ,recruited from chapterhouse ,played some Robbie Robertson inspired riffage throughout.
The band toured extensively before going back to cornwall to record album no3.."Excuses for Travellers". Unfortunately having spent most of the advance before booking the studio, were forced to build their own before any serious work could begin.The resulting record again owed much to the genius of young and dylan but showcased a band who's sound was evolving along with their DIY skills.
"Spoon and Rafter" followed in 2002 , produced again by mark van hoen aka locust, friend and fellow traveller. Most notable for the extrodinary length of it's opening track, "Bluebird of Happiness" it was again recorded in the bands studio on trusty E16 . Between Mojave records both Rachel and Neil have released sturdy solo album's while Ian has been makin a fine and ferocious melody with his own band The Loose salute.
"sweeter i've heard, but louder never"
Hey any chance a few European musicians will be traveling across the pond? :) Unfortunely the CD I have is burnt so I dont know which CD it is but its fantastic and the tone and effortlessness of the guitars and percussion is very soothing and I want to see it live! If you have some form of a mailing list or something that updates shows or if you have time to message me back that would be awesome. Thanks again for the music.
Today I like to inform you, that you can read and watch interviews with your favorit country stars in Enlgish, German and French at http://www.CountryHome.de/Interviews .

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
