Final Happiness

We are influenced by Captain Beefheart's eyeball dagger of blues, Velvet underground's urban narcotic tar filled with all the love and hate you can express in a song, Rolling Stone's sympathy for us all and everything else worth being inspired from. Doors, The Stooges, Primal Scream, Joy Division, The Fall, Death in Vegas, Sixteen Horse Power, Bob Dylan, Rimbaud, Ian Brown, Sex Pistols, Pere Ubu, Birthday Party, Can, Radiohead, etc, etc, etc. PS. We are equally inspired by everything that is against us.

Today, as yesterday, it's difficult to pigeonhole the band's musical style: Of course, this won't always be like this, "it is often the case that when we let ourselves go completely, our music reaches unexpected places.” Actually the vast majority of the band's output has never even been catalogued although there is something of the Keith Richards about it with regards to the songs: “They are swimming around inside our heads for us to catch.” That's how it is and that's ‘Happiness."

Music isn't something rigidly fixed or contrived for them, the structure of their songs is fluid and creative and has something of the jazz about it in terms of creative style, where the songs give way to improvisation. - And it's from this improvisational starting point that they compose and play their songs. Songs such as 'Hotel Troubadour', 'Mainline' or 'Hobbyhorse Blues' expound this philosophy well with their musical influences which include bands like 'Captain Beefheart', 'Velvet Underground', 'Birthday Party' or'NIN,' which have all influenced their style and stage performances.
