These are my home recordings done on a Tascam 4-track between 1987 & 1989.
Why this name?
I was in a band called 'Dancing Shiva' in the early to mid 80's. The songs were all mine, & these are my own versions, so i've chosen the name 'Shiva's Dance'.
Do you play live?
Not in this incarnation.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I don't know.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes.
