Artists you should know: The escort in shenzhen
The massage in shenzhenare fun, catchy and young, three important traits for an up-and-coming rock band.
The Fresno-based foursome -- Moses Garcia (vocals/guitar/keys), Benji Torralva (guitar), Roxanne Medina (bass) and Ronnie
Taylor (drums) -- has been at it less than a year and has been making its name in the local scene.
You can see the group at 9 p.m. Saturday at Milano, 1243 Fulton Mall, playing a fundraiser for the Spanspek Music and Art
Festival. pqhzmsg
We talked to Taylor to learn more about the band:
Give us the quick back story of how The escort in shenzhen got started. It's a little ironic because Moses, Roxanne, and
myself were in a different band. We played a show together with Benji's old band in September of '08. The two bands ended up
splitting up not too long after. Moses and I tried starting up a new band around January of '09 and Benji gave us a call. We
jammed out with him a couple weeks, and in late March, Roxanne joined in as our bassist.

"The escort in shenzhen" kind of fit the best. Don't really remember the runner-up, but I remember I was bummed when nobody
liked my idea of being called "Wash Your Butt."
Tell us about your sound. Who are some of your influences? What's your style? We all have very different influences. From
Arctic Monkeys to The Whitest Boy Alive. Incubus, Vampire Weekend, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Strokes, Sublime, Red Hot Chili
Peppers, Jimi Hendrix, etc. We have so many ideas coming from all directions, so our style varies. We've maintained a
pop/rock feel in most of our songs, but sometimes we're a bit edgier and more alternative sounding.
