Dave and John
We have been attempting to write and play music together since the mid '80s. We still try, we still suck!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
See introduction. We met at college and discovered we both liked making noise on the guitar. Every now and again we would save up to rent a Tascam 4-track cassette Portastudio. We'd throw a few riffs together, play some solos and call them songs. We still compose like this.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We have done but never together on the same stage. Possibly for the best!
Your musical influences
Shawn Lane, Bumblefoot, Chris Godin, Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Greg Howe, Scott Henderson, Allan Holdsworth, Frank Zappa, etc, etc. Sadly, we don't sound like any of our influences.
What equipment do you use?
The nearest.
Anything else?
In 1991 we recorded a track for a nationally released album, while we were recording the track, the first gulf war started. I don't think we can be blamed for that.
