Influences
We tend to pull from whatever is clever. Though we try to keep our work under the widely-varied umbrella of "rock", we're also big fans of Soul, Funk, Classic R&B, Latin and Electronic and consider anything fair, if it serves the song.
That said, to narrow it down, it would be fair to say that when we're working on material the 3 most-often referenced influences are Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden and Radiohead (honorable mention: Silversun Pickups).

EQUIPMENT
We have a modest, but full-featured studio in Aki's apartment. There is a full digital kit, guitars/ guitar amp, Bass/Bass amp, Mics and a mid-sized synth. Everything is volume controlled, so relatively low-volume rehearsals are the norm, and we would rent a room ahead of a gig to calibrate the dynamics of a full on set with acoustic drums.
