   About This Charming Mystery




This Charming Mystery’s music is very much a product of its creators, without any real nods to outside influences beyond the broad mainstream of rock and roll itself. There are hints of surf in the predilection for instrumentals. There are nods to classical baroque in the extensive use of counterpoint, traces of garage punk and touches of blues, thrash metal and post rock. The music has grown in a very organic fashion: rather than start off with an ideal such as "Let’s be a blues band", the songs have grown from scratch without any preconceived notions of what they should sound like.

But there is no attempt to be avant-garde or just plain strange for sake of it. The music in inherently listeneable and often follows standard rock structure with well defined verses, choruses and bridges. In inadvertently dragging in a whole ragbag of influences, the music literally has something for everyone, while remaining intangibly its own. Listen to it and tell us what you think!

I'll play drums with you, provided you have a small amount of any quality gear i could use for a while. I play guitar in the ruffians. But can be a very stylish player of the drums, lots of ride cymbal.
So, i guess my question is, you fullas still looking?
Patricia

Hey, thanks for the comment, love your music.
Anything and everything regarding movies. Tend to be making them myself at the moment, and only doing music in my spare time.
Reading the comments below, are you guys looking for a drummer? There are so many bands out there who are drummerless!

Wow seems everyone is losing drummers right now.
Sorry to hear that.
Will keep an ear and eye out.
Just had a quick look on trademe and at that short glance spotted one, may not be suitable but more thorough searching could be fruitful.
