The Royal Nonesuch
Hello kiddy-winks, welcome to the Barage from the Garage. Here you will find several swinging R&B, jangly electric folk and rock & roll sendups all tailor-made for your "cyber-trannies". For best results play at maximum volume. And remember, recording these masterpieces cost us $20 a pop, so treat them with the respect and homage that they deserve.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
It's too long and sordid a tale for this space. To find out the real low down, go here http://royalnonesuch.fanspace.com.(This site currently under construction, no peeking)
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Do we play live? I didn't know there was another way of playing, please fill me in! But seriously, we've played in several places, like Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Tulsa, New York, Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Minneapolis, and especially in our home town of Springfield (home of the Simpsons).
Your musical influences
Pretty Things, Yardbirds, Q-65, The Outsiders (the Dutch guys), Blues Magoos, The Shadows of Knight,The Very Nerve, The Electric Easy Chair, The Uncalled Four,...well, you should get the idea.
What equipment do you use?
Vox (super beatle), Fender & Ampeg amps. Rickenbacker, Fender, Hagstrom, Gretch, Gibson, Dan Electro and Vox guitars & basses. Electric sitar, harmonica and Ludwig drums. But we usually prefer rocks, sticks and bones when we can get them.
Anything else?
About the MP3's: We recorded these live to a two trac machine....no over dubs, no multi-tracking or layering tracs,no computer enhancements, just a good mix & good mic placement. Playing loud and adding in a little EQ will yield best results!
