banyan is centered around drummer stephen perkins. things have changed since that first experiment w/recording the first album. for one, a second album, called "anytime at all" was realeased in 1999 (like the first one, also on cyberoctave) and is made of 13 songs and jams made seperately w/different lineups, all orbiting the flaming sun of perk's drumming. watt does bass for four of the album's tunes. watt wrote "lovin' them pounds," plus helped write "la sirena" and "sputnik" and also appeared on the nels cline tune, "new old hat." a much different album than the first one but still chock full of the perk. much respect.

banyan likes to play live and sometimes even does small tours. this is the usual lineup for a local so cal area gig:

perk - drums

nels cline- guitar

watt - bass

memphis willie - trumpet

norton wisdom - painting


when nels is unavailable:
woody aplanalp - guitar


when you go to a banyan gig now, you'll hear improvised jamming as well a recurring themes plus actual tunes! all this interpreted through the paintbrush of norton wisdom who, in real time, works away at his giant "canvas" as he accompanys the other cats in the blow-out. everyone on stage has their ears directed at the perk as he yanks the band through it's maneuvers. each gig grows its own way, never the same way twice. it's for that reason watt really digs flying w/this team.
