Bandy Lou - homemade suburban folk-blues.
Why this name?
adapted from the name of a character in John Barth's 'The Sot Weed Factor.'
Do you play live?
I play "live" most weekdays around lunch hour at Warner Park in Woodland Hills, CA. I'll be making up songs in the bandshell.
Band History:
Hi. I'm recording a new album called "Soil Science" with some friends. Please download the new single "Squash Summer." Please download and share this and any other songs you like.
Your influences?
Creaking, dusty, rattling things. Vegetables and vegetation. Steve Stills and Califone. Lunar cycles, wind and weather. Sparklehorse and Neil Young. Suburban sprawl. If Joe Walsh and George Clinton went on a camping trip. Seasons and seasoning. Colors and skulls.
Favorite spot?
the San Fernando Valley. The imaginary campfire singalong that's always going on in my head, somewhere between my backyard and the Good Hart ghost town.
Equipment used:
old guitars that I've had for a long time. broken acoustic lap-style frankenslide with nut extender (lifts and separates). whatever's around in the garage.
