Squeaks and Squeals
Two people. One who thinks he's from the wrong side of the tracks and one who’s laidback on the tracks, waiting for a train to come. While waiting for that train to come he’s spent the last 23 years learning every music instrument ever invented. The one who thinks he's from the wrong side still managed to afford an MPC he now has the gall to call himself a drummer. Together they make music.
They sound like Radiohead, Bjork and Beethoven with the revolutionary attitude of early Coldcut and the vocal skills of Pavarotti. Their production is as big as James Lavelle, but with the honesty of Rick Rubin. As funky as The Meters, more intelligent than Sigur Ros, as genre spaning as Gorillaz. It's as ambitious as early Chemical Brother's, but the song writing is as friendly to the ear as Neil Finn's.
Enjoy.
That’s a joke by the way - have a listen they do at least aspire to all those artists’s mentioned above.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No.
Your musical influences
I know it a cliché but literally everything, however I suppose that the music that’s been made by us would suggest the more prevalent influences are a combination of indie rock, instrumental hip-hop, electronica and orchestral music.
O yea, and a general non musical influence would have to be Madonna's "What the fuck do you think your doing". To which I reply "ANYTHING I want Madonna!” except ... making sweet sweet love to you, which would be kinda cool.
What equipment do you use?
Lot's of instruments, MPC, and Pro Tools.
