| eric cousineau, 21, has been studing music since his youth, beginning with the violin in his childhood, something that he credits his mother for to this day. Around age 16, Eric picked up the guitar and by 18 he enlisted the bass as another outlet for his musical focus. Eric met Michael when they both worked together at a bookstore in Mesa, Arizona. Michael originally felt he had to "twist Eric's arm" into playing with the band because their influences (see below) and musical aspirations were quite different. Yet it is obvious that those differences add a unique texture to the music style and range. Before Lulu In Hollywood, Eric has played in |
| several other bands, including Nomax, and his previous experiences have contibuted much to L.I.H. When asked what his musical influences are, Eric responded with a written out list after spending plenty of hair-pulling time meditating on the topic. His top three influences decidedly are Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhodes, John Zorn and Dream Theater (...which is quite predictable if one has seen a live show of L.I.H. -- nine times out of ten, Eric wears a Dream Theater t-shirt...) Eric is also single, a scorpio (born November 4th) and likes long walks on the beach. |
