ABOUT

We are a male duo. We both play guitars, keyboard/synths and lead/backup vocals. We are seeking professionally-minded musicians with a focus on quality, professionalism and a primary emphasis of the promotion and subsequent steady working situation. It is our opinion 70-80% of the time spent in a group is marketing and promotion that emphasizes superior live performances. Diversity of music will enhance the group's ability to acquire work in local clubs and venues regardless of genre preference.

Influences

Pop. rock, blues, country and dance music: British Invasion (1962-1968), Summer of Love (1968-1970), 70s yacht rock, 60s-70s classic rock, country and cross-over country (60s-2000s), 80s New Romantic Synth Pop, 80s Hair bands, 90s pop and grunge. We also have the ability to provide an acoustic/ backing track performance for smaller venues and corporate. If you are reliving your adolescence with metal and hard rock, this ain't the gig for you. Don't get me wrong, but I grew up with it too. No one wants to hear it in the nicer clubs. For that matter, neither do I. Wear hearing protection and a condom until you get over it.
