Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Started 2005 in Stockton, CA. Collaberated shortly (for 1 track) with TEMV's Josh Nikolas who appeared playing the drums on the track "Faster." The first album took years to finish due to a busy college life, was mostly completed in 2007, but refined and completed in 2008. Keith moved to Los Angeles in 2009 to continue his education. A hiatus followed until 2010, and eventually the first new song was produced in 2011: "Distractions." Everything's recorded at home. Keith Strawn performs the guitar, singing and writing, bass, harmonica, percussion, keyboard, and all synthesizers.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No. Not yet at least
Your musical influences
First album "White Noise" was highly influenced by Nirvana, McLusky, and other grunge and post-punk influences. Now working on two albums simultaneously, 2nd album "Elevator Music For Your Way Down To Hell" is mainly influenced by NIN, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, and will have a lot of industrial and experimental influences. The 3rd album "Potty Mouth" will be somewhat reminiscent of the 1st album, but more upbeat and hard rock oriented, with a wide range of influences like The Rolling Stones, The White Stripes, Beck, and more.
What equipment do you use?
A bunch of shit
