James Matthews
well ive been in various bands, and most of this is just me experimenting around with a guitar or piano solo- do listen to the songs all the way through as they get much better, and at the moment its very much work in progress, hoping to get some finished stuff up eventually- and dont worry, i dont think its any good- yet
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Well i've been in three bands-
A crap cover band when i was 14
The 9th degree, where we did original stuff, but the chemistry wasnt right
and the valley jam, a jazz band which is still going
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
have done fairly frequently and love it, best gig was probably the forum bath with a small funk rock group.
Your musical influences
Pink Floyd, Muse, Joe Zawinul, Razorlight, U2, Radiohead. Like a mixture of medium and more mellow rock, although there isnt much that isnt mellow on here. Like using piano!
What equipment do you use?
Yamaha pacifica, normal piano, zen micro recorder, and school recording studio
Anything else?
nerite!
