| Sounds Like | Gosh, this is one tough section to fill in! We are a choir, so we really don't sound like any other band out there. We are known for our eclectic style and energetic performances though - but seeing, and hearing, really is believing.
A straw poll of the Pinkies suggested that we sound like "good friends enjoying ourselves in harmony!", "a hedonistic celestial chorus", "a fusion of gay angels", "the sun breaking through the clouds", "warm, hearty and wine-sozzled!" and "the sounds of music"
Basically though, "if the colour pink were a sound, then we sound pink!" |
