Artist description We used to call it "post-punk neo-psychedelic," but that was just because we couldn't think of anything better. Hunks of Beatles, smattering of blues, a few slivers from the avant garde.

Music Style Pop, roots, neopsychedelic

Musical Influences Beatles, Velvet Underground, Eno

Similar Artists A little like a lot; not a lot like any. Maybe Beatles, R.E.M., Replacements, Eno.

Artist History Started with Scott Miller's new-wavish Alternate Learning; when that broke up, Miller formed Game Theory and Guy Kyser joined Joe Becker and I to form the quasi-punk Lazy Boys. When THAT broke up, Guy and Joe formed Thin White Rope, and I formed the jangly neo-psychedlic Coincidence. That died, and I played with the vaguely roots-oriented Rich Hardesty & the Del Reys for a time. Now just kind of drifting.

Group Members Scott Gallawa

Instruments Mainly guitar, drums, bass, synth/keyboard.

Albums SG appeared on: Alternate Learning "ALRN" ep; The Coincidence "Dreamtime" lp & "Harsh Betty's Party Favorites" compilation lp; Rich Hardesty & the Del Reys "Introducing", "The Big Hangover," and "The Song Retains The Name" (Led Zepplin tribute compilation).

Press Reviews The Sacramento Bee had this to say about the Coincidence:"If these guys could get some backing, they'd definitely go places." I'm sure if somebody important heard this song, like, say, Rolling Stone magazine, they'd say something like: "This is, without doubt, not only the best song ever in the universe, but probably the single most wonderful work of art in any genre. Just THINKING about the title cured my gout."
