The Smile
2 guys...friends since 1979.
Making music since then....
This was a project from 1990 - 1993.
We wrote & recorded MANY songs...
(On a Tascam Portastudio...4 track!)
The playing was usually:
Von - guitars, bass, percussion, vocals.
Steven - keys, drums, percussion, vocals.
We both wrote our own songs...
On the collaborations, the breakdown
was usually:
Steve - lyrics
Von - music....with a few exceptions.
Thought it was time to dig it up....
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
See above.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
One gig...
It was a disaster.
A Christmas party....
We were victims of bad booking.
Yeah.....that's the ticket!
Your musical influences
Obvious nods to:
The Beach Boys & The Beatles!
With shades of Bob Dylan........
