Influences
very eclectic.. we aim to confuse the small-minded pigeon-holers.. but having said that, we can be quite militant in our dislikes.. anything with soul.. A soul, that is, its more than just female vocals.. something original, some skill, we like content, not vacuous style.. sorry Vince, the hair does NOT make the musician, (oops, there goes the art-rock contingent).. matching outfits / uniforms? damn.. since when did every stage turn into a catwalk? but then, what is a band without style? simply lift music, with the bass turned up.. music is a difficult thing to quantify without confusing and alienating yourself, let alone others.. maybe its better that way.. the labels are there simply to aid big business in product placement, so that the advertisers can pull the right stock images out of the box, and the so that the chainstore manager, who doesnt even own a music collection, can pop em on the correct shelf, and vaguely point people towards 'punk', 'jazz', hiphop', whatever label pops out next...... and another thing.. the worst label of all has to be 'world' music.. what does that mean?? the rest of the world? other than England? then whys America not in it? its not world music, its Balkan kocec's, its Cuban son, its West African highlife.. or its the Finnish avant-garde death-folk prog-klezmer of alamaailman vasarat..or, more sensibly, EVERYTHING is world music.. none of em came from the Moon, that i know of; and the recording facilities on Mars just aint up to scratch.. the audio comes out far too dry, no atmosphere.. come to think of it, maybe the pop industry is entirely based on Martian soil.. it'd certainly explain europop.. .. ....
