Music:Member Since: 12/17/2005Band Website: kazmitchell.com.au Band Members: Currently playing solo acoustic, but looking for a drummer and bass player. Please contact Kaz if you're interested. Influences: Early influences would be Elvis Costello, Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, Talking Heads, Indigo Girls, Ron Sexsmith, Elvis Presley, Joan Armatrading. country music, rock music, pop music, jazz, folk - all the good stuff that's ever been made. Contemporary music I love is too vast to mention but I'll try anyway. Martha Wainwright, The Weepies, Deb Talon, Patty Larkin, Clare Bowditch, Jen Cloher, Liz Stringer, Emma Heaney, Anne McCue, Mia Dyson, Ann Vriend, Laura Viers, and the list goes on and on and on........... Sounds Like: Have been compared to Annie Lennox, Tracy Thorn, Joan Armatrading. The album has been likened to Sade, Steely Dan and Level 42. Live it's much less polished, and more bluesy folksy in style. Next CD will be more in keeping with the live sound. Record Label: Unsigned Type of Label: None |
