technophobics
Hi
My name is Andy Robinson, i live in Flintshire, North wales and together with my mate, Joe Evans, i formed a songwriting partnership, we have called,Technophobics. I write the words, we both write the tunes and Joe performs the material, singing and playing guitar. i keep meaning to learn the guitar but haven t yet got past learning how to play a few chords, badly! We are, mainly, interested in the songwriting side of things but Joe would be quite happy to have the opportunity, to perform our material, if the opportunity arose. We have written a lot of songs but so far only demoed, to an acceptable standard, a small number.We would appreciate any feedback, good, bad or indifferent and would love to hear from anyone, interested in performing, any of our material.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Our partnership was formed 5 years ago and we ve amassed a catalogue of well over a hundred songs, in mainly, acoustic, acoustic rock/indie/pop and country styles.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Joe has played some open mic evenings, locally, in Flintshire and received some good reaction.
Your musical influences
Our influences are many and varied, as we just love great songs and great songwriters, of the past and more contemporary. we love traditional rock,pop and country, as well as alternative, indie rock, punk, grunge and metal. The Beatles, Stones, Dylan, springsteen,Neil young,The doors,Smiths, Rem, Coldplay,U2,Johnny Cash,Oasis,Jet,radiohead,Guns n roses, stereophonics,Queen,Elvis Costello,Bowie,Nick cave, green day, the Clash, paul weller, Pulp, Brit pop,Blur, joy Division, lou reed and the Velvet underground,Ryan adams and alternative country/country rock... the list is endless!
What equipment do you use?
Cubase recording equipment and Joe plays an Epiphone electric guitar and a Tumbleweed, electro acoustic guitar.
Anything else?
Basically, the songs are up for grabs! If you hear anything you think you would like to perform, get in touch and we will sort something out. Alternatively, if you like what you hear, from Joe, get in touch and he ll be more than happy, to oblige!
