Third Eye Unit
This is not strictly a band in conventional terms as it's more a collaboration between step-brothers and a cousin, and other family members.... with a few guests being included from time to time. Each of us has had plenty of experience in traditional types of bands, with different levels of success. Now we're doing this for the pure fun of it, in the words of Clive Owen's character in 'The Insider'.... 'Because we can.'
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
What a thing to fill in! What was in the past is staying there. This is our fun thing now and we're not relying on previous glories..... no matter how much Antony sulks! He'd still Glam up too, knowing him!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Where do we live? All over the place! Antony: Portland, OR. Thomas: Wellington, NZ. Bil: Preston, UK. John: Bedford, NY. Where have we lived? That's another question with plenty of answers!
Your musical influences
You name it, we're into it! Dance: House, Trance, Hard House, Psychedelic, Chill Out. Rock: Hard, Heavy Metal. Bil used to combine crashing guitars with Motown/R&B back in '60s! We've gone through several changes in our likes of particular music.
What equipment do you use?
Currently: PCs and Macs with Pro Logic, Cubase/Nuendo, Reason, ReBirth ... and other software.
Previously: Ac30s to Marshall 200s; various guitars (60 between us at the last count); various keyboards (including Classics like Minimoogs, Pro 5, Jupiters 8 & 6, DX7s, DX5s.... the list goes on); Ludwig and Yamaha kits.
Anything else?
Anything else? What have we forgotten? Oh yeah! Our latest recruit just nudged me to give a reminder! Nat-Vic (aged 6) is our Top Recording Star, so her Mum tells me! If I don't get this done...... She'll take over, like she's already done with Reason!
