Hi Steve, Glad you enjoyed Wonderland - I've just listened to the 3 songs you have uploaded and enjoyed each one - which isn't surprising when I read through your influences. Like me you love the 60's harmonic approach and quality songwriting.
Check out my other band at http://www.amazingtunes.com/users/the-story - should be right up your street. Cheers, Tom
