Influencessex pistols, PiL, english dancehall and dub reggae, roger miller, alcohol (especially guiness), punk rock women, bikini kill, NYC and BKLYN, and the WORLD,pub life, television personalites (we totally rip them off- sorry guys but, we love you), the Dolls and the Toy Dolls, NY Mets, fellini, james joyce, thin man movies, pogues, dublin, osaka (big hello to shonen knife), old fucked up instruments, Godzilla, lo-fi, and we are definately influenced by large sums of money being handed to us
Sounds Likei know you've heard it before but we do have a sound of our own! More like a voice...more like a voice moaning out of a bathroom stall at 4 am...or from under a barstool...or from inside of a closet at a party, but with guitars and funny lyrics...we are the true sound of brooklyn on guild acoustic guitars...a little irish, a little melancholy...a true cross genre nightmare!
Record Labelpenny for the guy, no more records

Awesome time over at Rocky Sullivan's. I now see why you trek it out to Red Hook to do shows there. Too bad you couldn't squeeze in one 3JP's show before flyin' 2 England and shet.

Box, you guys are nuts, talented skilled funny and nuts. If Spike Jones and Louis Prima knew anything about rock they woulda learned it from you. Of course they'd have to come back from the dead and would be smelly and scary looking.

Thank God that BOX of CRAYONS is here!

Hey, thanks for the ADD and your friendship.

Please tell your friends to drop by and pay BIG CITY a visit.
