Influences
'60s garage-pop and folk-rock and soul... pure NYC/UK punk, the pub-rock it evolved out of, the art-thrash it evolved into... the angular harmonies and twisted structures of downtown jazz... Stones covering Dylan, Dylan covering the Stones... Monk punk, dunked in funk, drinking with the Kinks... NRBQ thrown into a blender with Mission of Burma... Richard Thompson in a high-altitude kung fu contest with Neil Young... chords like Charlie Parker, words like Graham Parker, atmosphere like Robert Parker... Radiohead without the Weltschmerz, Pere Ubu without the homemade electronics, XTC without the pastoralism and the hiccups... did we mention Costello? we'd better, several times over... the first and second British Invasions, and all the times we've invaded them back....
