   The seeds of The Cocabanana Band's sound were planted back in 1997 when John Burrows and FACE!
   ...
   FACE! a Berklee College of Music grad from New York City played keys with left handed bass and sang the mid and top harmony, while Burrows sang lead and played acoustic guitars, banjo, and a racked up harp.
   
   FACE was gradually shaping the musical standards of the new band.With perfect pitch, a rare gift, every nuance within the act was scrutinized.FACE'S! musical mantra: "Less is More" is the musical motto of the band
   
   Burrows explains the next step:
   ...
   Danbo explains: "We are watching this drummer set up and get sound hitting his Toms and Kick and John says aside to me: ‘This is the one!' His DW custom drum kit sounded like fireworks !"
   ...
   Burrows: "Our new percussionist came highly recommended from a super- star player.
   ...
   Burrows explains the audition process: "We tried the ‘model who sings route' but after 4 months of auditions and rehearsals, realized we were expecting more vocally from our model Babana Babes than they could deliver so we went looking for a ‘singer with sizzle on stage' . We found Kristina Cook on a stair climber in a gym!
   ...
   "This was a no brainer" said Burrows.
