Beyond the Beat
Okay, well the Beyond the Beat style came up when we were all fans of N.E.R.D, and the Neptunes, for quite some time.
We ran into some freinds who had a familiar guitar style to UK indie, and in some ways The Strokes.
So we finally decided to make a funky band, however, we didn't have a drummer at all, so we decided to use a breakbeat as our beat, and we came up with this origional sound using turntables.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band is about a year old now, we all go to college. It's good fun man, writing songs is what i like to do, playing guitars and messing with turntables, their isn't anything better.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Only in our rehersal room, we have freinds around to hear what we do.
Your musical influences
Loads of stuff from Al Green and the whole Motown collection, even stuff like The Beatles, the Strokes, N.E.R.D, Johnny Cash, man, even Limp Bizkit. Everything has a influence on you if you take the music for what it is.
