My Interests |

Music:Member Since: 2/17/2006Band Website: thevinylstrangers.com Band Members: Tim Adams, Bass/ Reid Howland, Guitar and vox/ Joe Guerzo, Guitar and Vox/ Ian Werden, Drums Influences: We're in love with the pop, where and whenever it's from; we're always influenced as writers and musicians by whatever we've just been listening to. Lately, that's been a steady diet of Squeeze, Nick Lowe, Rockpile, The Lovin' Spoonful, and The La's. We never travel far without a LOT of Big Star, The Beatles, Wilco, Elvis Costello, Something/Anything-era Todd Rundgren, The Byrds, The Beach Boys, and Old '97's. The newly remastered Sly catalog is getting airplay in the road mobile, as is Dusty in Memphis, Live at Leeds, Elliot Smith's masterful XO, and a thousand other CD's scattered like little melodic jewels across the carpet of the van. Sounds Like: Pure pop for now people. Singles! Short songs, catchy melodies, loads of harmonies, and a beat you can dance to. If you can't dig that...well...your taste is not our problem. Record Label: New DNA Type of Label: Indie |
