One of the greatest things about Los Festingos is the crazy range of styles we cover. When asked what kind of music we play a popular response is, "Whatever you want." This enormous range of stylistic variability is due to the diverse influences and styles of the four members. Below is a list of some influences for each band member. The unique indivuality of each member's musical tastes is directly manifested in their playing style. And you can totally hear it anytime you listen to us.
Sam Kwietniak: The Beatles, J.S. Bach, Andres Segovia, Charlie Byrd, Elvis, Villa Lobos, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Duke Ellington, Beach Boys, The Ventures. Basically strong Latin, Jazz, Classical and 60s Rock influences.
Bucky Kellorgg: Blue Oyster Cult, Steve Vai, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Joe Satriani, Styx, Queen, David Bowie, Allman Brothers, Gary Moore, Van Halen. Basically very heavy influences in Metal, Classic Rock, and Blues.
Rancid Prostrate (Tim Gould): Jack Johnson, Norah Jones, Led Zeppelin, The Cat Empire, Bob Marley, State Radio, Streetlight Manifesto, Dave Matthews. Basically strong influences in Reggae, Acoustic Pop, Indie and Ska.
Chris Ruffini: Blink 182, The Temptations, Kid Rock, Alanis Morroisette, Village People, Phil Collins, Queen, The Doors, Elton John, Billy Joel, Elvis, Aqua, Toy Box, Avril lavigne, Simple Plan, Weezer. Doowop, Techno, Punk and Classic Rock influences.
All of the Festingos share a love and admiration for Classic Rock, but their individual differences blend together harmoniously to create a unique sound that anyone can enjoy!
