But, I mean, all new wave bands took early punk, glam and sixties pop as their central influences. That was the magic mix that made the genre! I think Piedmont Charisma's early recordings are notable for minimizing the pop influence and introducing Pere Ubu and The Fall. Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing that other mix!dee eshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02686422213582619357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733670409358202804.post-21332813617093733512010-08-27T13:35:46.522-04:002010-08-27T13:35:46.522-04:00I have the better mixed version which I'll sen...I have the better mixed version which I'll send your way. I was recently talking to someone about Congratulations and was describing our influences as Glam Rock, The Kinks and early punk. I say "influences," but it's more like people we intentionally ripped off. I think the closest Candace and I got to New Wave was ripping off Elvis Costello.<br /><br />In a cyclical turn of events, I've just started playing with Chad Pry and Josh Carpenter in On The Take.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05274463892930915803noreply@blogger.com
