Abbott had grown tired of the question, "What are your influences," long before he'd even started a band, seeing in it nothing more than a invitation to the fetishistic intonation of  iconic names.  However, while attending a gallery opening, Abbott witnessed the featured artist answering that same question several times with names he'd never heard of.  Inspired, he resolved to do the same the next time someone asked him who were his influences.  As he stared at an incomprehensible pile of enameled rope and halves of shoes, he giggled at thought of answering, "EVE TANGY."
