If you HAD to pick one Genre of music only, and only one, (literally if you want to bed tonight, woke up in the morning and could only play one single genre of music) what would it be?
Most likely Jazz for me. |

While most of us here know what is generally meant by 'fusion'(in a musical contexet), the fact is if you don't specify what components are being fused together then it technically doesn't mean squat. Same goes for 'alternative.' Alternative to what? Rant/derail over...

WOOHOO!!!! Loophole!... I GET ALL THE GIGS!

Prog or art rock any day. Symphonic music from the Romantic period as well. |

Our fans have accepted the fact that we use many different styles (genres) of music in our songs . . . blues, funk, reggae/ska, rockabilly, rock'n roll, punk, metal, hard rock, rhythm and blues, latin rhythms (tumbao, son, huapango, etc) and MORE . . .
FWIW, the other bands that often share the bill with us are ALL stuck in one genre or another . . .
BORING!
