High Ten Songs That Impressed The Kidney Flowers

The Gories – Sovereignty Flight

The Gories taught us that you simply don’t should be an amazing musician, or actually have a full drum equipment, to make nice music.

Tom Waits – Goin’ Out West

Tom Waits taught us to by no means fear about being a bit bizarre. Additionally, simply hearken to the sound of these drums.

The Pixies – Useless

The Pixies taught us that writing good lyrics is sort of vital. Additionally they taught us that in case you are in a band you actually shouldn’t be too bothered about the way you look, simply put all of your effort into the music and don’t wash your garments too usually.

Pleasure Division – Transmission

We love Pleasure Division a lot that we stole this drum beat for our music Small Fingers. Plus Grant seems like Ian Curtis when he dances, which isn’t intentional.

The Fall – Blindness

We performed with The Gories as soon as and afterwards Dan Kroha instructed us that we sound like The Fall. He then instructed us that he actually preferred The Fall. It’s all been downhill from there to be trustworthy.

The Cannonball Adderley Quartet – Inside Straight

We love jazz, and we expect that taking part in bizarre jazz chords via a fuzz pedal sounds nice. We’d attempt to make a jazz album at some point. Most likely not although.

The Troggs – I Need You

This music taught us that it’s good for music to sound a bit aggressive generally. I used to have an unique 45rpm copy of this and I feel anyone stole it. So, I suppose this music additionally taught us to by no means go away your favorite information mendacity round, individuals with good style can’t be trusted.

The Beatles – Why Don’t We Do It In The Highway?

Obsessively listening to The Beatles as a stoned teenager will train you tips on how to write songs. It won’t be ‘cool’ to love The Beatles among the many storage/punk crowd, however we had been by no means attempting to be cool anyway. The Beatles are nice, when you suppose in any other case then you may come and battle us.

The Stooges – Search and Destroy

Don’t really want to say something about this one, it speaks for itself. Additionally, by no means belief anybody who prefers the Bowie combine to the Iggy one.

The Monks – Fairly Suzanne

Simply hearken to that fuzz bass. The Monks have all the time been an enormous inspiration for us, they had been by no means afraid to be totally different. I’d say they’ve in all probability impressed each musician that’s ever heard them, whether or not consciously or not.
