The Haiku: General Info

Member Since	2/27/2006
Band Website	http://www.thehaiku.co.uk
Band Members	Phil - Plays geetar and sings through his mouth to make with the vocal and lyrical content thing. Phil likes Monkeys. Bert - Hits things with sticks (and sometimes brushes) to make bashy type noises. Bert likes cheese.
Influences	Song writer Mr Phil is influenced by lots of shitty things that happen. Generally, when the ways of life get in the way of enjoying yourself, and being happy. That doesn't mean the songs are all miserable though. Far from it, that just happens to be the period during which Mr Phil is at his most creative. As far as bands and artists, Phil is influenced by all the music he has ever listened to. This includes the following (in alphabetical order) - Badly Drawn Boy - Barenaked Ladies - Beach Boys - Beatles - Beck - Ben Folds Five - Blur - Buddy Holly - Charles Wesley - Coldplay - Crowded House - Del Amitri - Doves - Eels - Everclear - Fleetwood Mac - Foo Fighters - Futureheads - Gomez - I Am Kloot - Idlewild - Jack Johnson - John Rutter - Kate Rusby - Kings of Convenience - Kinks - The La's - Led Zeppelin - Lemonheads - Levellers - Lovin' Spoonful - Mansun - Marcy Playground - Nirvana - Oasis - Paul Simon - The Proclaimers - REM - Ryan Adams - Snow Patrol - Squeeze - Turin Brakes - Weezer - The Wiyos - XTC - Zutons More to be added
