Now We've Got Members
In the beginning Now We've got Members didn't have any members at all. Today the band revolves around a core of eight people, and in some live situations they´re augmented by additional musicians, forming an ensemble of as many as fifteen members. The music can be described as a mixture of musical styles from near and distant hemispheres, all relative to which hemisphere the listener might be situated. The band has been known to incorporate folk music from the balkans, arabian funk and transcendental jams into their complex yet hummable
pop tunes. Add to this elements of progressive rock (without the rock), disco (without the mirrorballs) and free jazz (without the jazz), and you have an idea of what Now We've got Members sounds like.
