I really don't know where it can fit, Eclectic, Xover ? Psych ?  Anyway this multi-instrumentist (aka Lawrence Freiberg) who plays a sort of old-fashioned psych rock with a mixture of electronics which could make me think also to Avant is a very  interesting character.


"I'm your hero" is my fav track.

He's founder of this organization: http://www.worldpeaceone.com/

and has an interesting facebook profile: http://www.facebook.com/IAmYikes

On the samples don't stop at the first impression, even though they mainly sound as late 60s psych rock there's more, I think and his face is a mix of Hendrix and Zappa...

Please help me finding the best chart where to suggest him.

Correction:  this is not a one man band but a band of 5 elements. Look at the very floydian video.

This is a difficult one. Certainly worthy of an eval.

I think I am going to push to eclectic first.

I appreciate the interest. We are very passionate about this band. We have played Los Angles to great response. 

The manager at The Roxy came up to me after the show and said "You are one of the greatest bands we've ever had on stage. All you need is promotion and you'll go all the way to the top" 

As mentioned, we have a "Floydian" video here  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTwH6L2XHfo 

We're looking to open up for major prog acts..

Luca, they've been rejected by Eclectic.
