Skunky Cheese |
From deep in the desert an unlikely creature creeps out of a cave and into the enchanted airs of New Mexico. Bringing many inspirations with him, Skunky hailing from Albuquerque showers the land with forgotten tales of ancient and fantastic melodies, danced from dawn to twilight and back to dawn again. The name "Progressive Fantasy" or "Fantasy PA" has been used to describe the unclassifiable music emanating from his keyboards and blinking boxes, but the skunk also dabbles in what some call "Power Jungle."
At it for over twelve years, the skunk brings
influences from Power Metal bands like Blind Guardian, Hammerfall, Rhapsody
and others as well as Misfits, Ramones, and JS Bach. SC has worked with many
locals of NM including people of Hip and Trippy Productions and MU Studios.
It all started with his first classical compositions as a wee bob on a Casio
keyboard, progressing on to Punk Rock Guitar and eventually L ive PA. Skunky
Cheese also draws inspiration from art and designs all of his own artwork. I
can't help but draw allusions between the complex
Celtic knots of some of his work to the winding progressions of his constantly
molding PA sets.
Skunky Cheese is definitely a guy you want to check
out if he's in your town. Rarely is he out of the desert and though little known
outside NM, he is assuredly one of the best live performers I have ever known.
