UP IN THE SKY

There are many, many family bands, but very few of them have as much in common and yet as many differences as the members of 77 Bombay Street. The sound created by the four brothers from Scharans is reminiscent of The Beatles in their early days or the Beach Boys after a night on the drink. The combination of this sound, the inspiring mountain air, and influences from the current music scene creates the unmistakeable brand of folk rock that is the "Bombays". All four brothers write songs, channelling their personal preferences into the band's music. This means that in this case, variety and inventiveness are not just an empty phrase, but the defining feature of this band. "Our music is a combination of folky lightness, profound song-writing, and a healthy dose of humour," grins Matt.
