Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
So far we've played at a school show (600 people), and at a Band Competition (300). Both were unforgettable experiences. You can see the video on the or on .
Your musical influences
It's a huge melting pot! You will find traces of modern rock, like Audio Slave, some metal elements, ala Metallica, and quite a lot of influence from the progressive side, Dream Theater and Opeth. Look out for odd time signatures, catchy riffs, and some nice solos thrown in :D
