Baggage Claim
Baggage Claim is; Gareth Ortiz-Timpson, who plays the guitar, does vocals, sampled drums, and mixing; and Eric O'Donnell, who plays bass and does vocals.
Eric is the main writer of words, but some songs are a collaboration. The music is generally also a collaboration.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
At the moment we lack a 2nd guitar player and a drummer to play live, but we are working on it.
Your musical influences
Well I'd say Weazer, Foo Fighters, Oasis (to some degree), Against Me, Led Zeppelin. There are a great many other influences since we both listen to a huge variety of music, but I think these bands show most in our music.
What equipment do you use?
The main Guitar used is a 1970 Gibson SG through an Ibanez TS7 Tubescreamer and a Fender 2x12 amp. The bass used for most of the songs is an Avon Rose-Morris which for recording simplification is simply DI.
