LYNDON J CONNAH who plays keyboards, guitars, bass, percussion & kazoo, sings lead and harmony and writes songs, equally eccentric but very different;
SEAN KANE who plays drums and sings harmony and somehow retains a sense of perspective, much to the amusement of the deferential Alex & Lyndon.
Occasionally augmented by Andy Herbert on bass guitar and an assortment of guests, the music they create seems to inhabit a rocky road less travelled.
Influences include The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Stephen Sondheim, Led Zeppelin, Weather Report, Steely Dan & Thomas Dolby.
Comparisons, however, have also been made with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Abba meets the Pet Shop Boys (?!), Todd Rundgren, Ben Folds Five, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Bruce Hornsby, Talking Heads, XTC, Simon & Garfunkel, Crowded House, etc..
Get the picture? Neither do we!
Great harmonies, a little reminiscent of Crosby Stills & Nash; lyrics from strange dark places with bright sunshine bursting through every crack; music from a past, or a future, where bands think not of fashion but of borrowing from everywhere and everyone and creating a magic all their own. Oh, and there's not much rapping in it!
So come on in...take a look, have a listen, find out where we're playing and what's new. If you like what you find, become a card-carrying member of The Mouse Revolution!
