My-Tea Kind
Always Developing and based in Tahlequah Ok, My-Tea Kind consists of Three one of a kind sisters and thier bizarre friend James. Bonnie Paine is able to spread her love and beauty throughout a venue making the rythmic washboard a nesscessity to the beat. Her voice is so elaborate that audiences are often frozen in awe. Annie Paine beams with sure joy and confidence on the Bass. Like a heart throb, her personallity instantly makes an impression. On the drums, Sarah Garde spreads her suttle beats like gentle wind. She sprinkles the rhythm elegantly and with a vibe essential to the uniqueness of MTK. On the guitar and vocals, James Townsend blends his complex dreamlike guitar riffs with the swinging melody of his vocals. They come as a force, seeking a collective learning experience and representing that search through their voice in the language of music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yep, We play all over: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado... Not much in Texas. Many special moments in Many special places. Just cant wait to get on the road again.
Your musical influences
There are many things which influence everything within the band. Tahlequah in general has been a great place to be born and grow up in. Silver Streams and thick woods... Randy Crouch has aided in the growth of us. For that there is lots of respect. Michael Paine has always fed the dreams that be. The My-Tea Kind Cheerleaders and their household have been amazing. The great network of friends and fans. The forgotten greatnesses of the world still echoing through time/space that us musicians hear and write from. Movement and stillness. Children. New Places. Gleeful crowds. Love.
