ROCK: Progressive Rock, POP: Today''s Top 40
Details:
We are a Swedish/American band, by that I mean the singer is American and everyone else is Swedish.
What genre of music are we? Progressive Rock.
It''s mellow music with a groove, but more on the lines of a Peter Gabriel groove or a Pink Floyd groove, not a Barbara Streisand groove.
Our favorite reviewer stated we were a mix between Allanis Morrisette and Joni Mitchell. That worked for us.
We have forever, it seems, individually and equally been influenced by Mr. Gabriel, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and more recently Sarah Mcglachlan, Fiona Apple, Damien Rice.
Our singer and songwriter, Rachel Pollack, was born and raised mainly in the states but traveled the world along side her father, film director Sydney Pollack.
She grew up listening to Jane Oliver a lot, Ricki Lee Jones, Linda Rondstadt, Joni Mitchell, Willie Nelson, Frank Sinatra and Peter and the Wolf...oh and of course there was that period when she thought she was Little Orphan Annie, pruning in the bath for hours while singing "Tomorrow" at the top of her lungs for the 400th time.
Down the hall, around the corner, there was always someone listening.
You know that cool moist wind that comes in from the north on a terribly hot day, which when you think about it, probably never happens....or that warm autumn breeze (unless you''re from Sweden) that moves over your body on a very cold night....well, Rachel sings kind of like that feels.
Jonas Sorman, our guitar player and an amazing songwriter, a swedish fellow that plays the guitar like David Gilmour and Jimi Hendrix on a really really really good day, has a sense for melodies, grooves, rhythm and sound like very few you will ever hear in a lifetime.
Claes Nystrom, our keyboard player and as well an apostle composer, a truely great person who is also a Swedish fellow.
(NEW TEXT 09/05/04)
We all met in 1995 at The Musicians Institute in Hollywood California.
We have one album self titled "ROCKETBOB".
We also compose music for theatrical trailers and television campaigns.
We just finished GARFIELD for 20th Century Fox, as well as KINGDOM OF HEAVEN with Orlando Bloom, HIDE AND SEEK with Robet DeNiro, CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN, THE CLEARING, MR. AND MRS. SMITH, (see credits) We have played the local L.A. clubs mostly, House of Blues, The Roxy, The Troubador (the old At My House club in Santa Monica....was such a great place), The Jazz bakery, even though we are not all Jazzy. We just started playing The Cinegrill at The Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. A perfect venue for us. Great show.
You probably wonder who I am.
Obviously I''m part of the band as I speak in the first person. Though if that were true, I must have some nerve talking about our band like this....how we are so great and how you''ll never forget us. Which you won''t.
In any case, I am simply
a random, figment of the imagination, impersonating a member of the band.
Enjoy the music.
