Harpaxe
Harpaxe met in the spare parts department of a music store in the United Sticks and comprises four musicians with as many decades of experience between them. Lead guitarist Rod Truss and rythm guitarist Head McHine are ably supported by Bassist Con Trolknob and drummer Tom Floor.
From the band's first debut in a shoe box they have toured all over the workbench and are looking forwards to reassembling for a series of gigs in the United Kitchen.
Our current ten track album is on i-tunes and cdbaby.com (That bit is true!)
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Years, decades even spent selling, repairing and even building guitars. Bar room brawls and suave restaurants, even the odd church service.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Being inanimate we find it difficult to play live but we know this Scottish guy who will turn up for you and do the main guitar bit.
Your musical influences
The Shadows, Sky, Mark Knopfler, Vaughan Williams, Elgar, Dvorak, Ivor Mairants. Those are the posh names but if it had not been for the Monkees you would not be reading this.
What equipment do you use?
Ibanez AEG-10NE, Technics KN1500, Jim Deacon 12 string.
Anything else?
A wise man will love just one woman but as many guitars as he can lay his hand on.
