Wishful Thinking
Wishful Thinking... are just another rock band. Or at least, another rock band that writes in odd time signatures, features long guitar solos, strange lyrics, a chequered past and an incredible list of metaphors...
Wishful Thinking is in no way related to .
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, programmer and vocalist (!) David McCabe thought 'aha, let's write some music'... twenty-four months and three sneak previews later and it's still a long way from being finished. This could have something to do with the pressures of being a graduate, or it could be something to do with Dave being so damn lazy. Or slow, as he prefers to state it.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes. Everywhere. Yes. Yes. Respectively.
Your musical influences
Ho, ho... influences? Huge stereo soundscapes and powerful themes. IQ, Dream Theater, Marillion.
What equipment do you use?
Ibanez and Tanglewood guitars, Zoom effects, Marshall amps, Roland keyboards and guitar synthesisers, Yamaha studio equipment, Steinberg software.
Anything else?
Play it loud, with the lights off.
