Tony Kanal is the energetic bass player of the band. If you have ever seen him perform, you'll know what I mean.

Tony was born in Kingsbury, a suburb of London, England on August 27, 1970, but moved to southern California at age 11. In the tenth grade, he joined his high school's jazz band as a bass player, and his musical interest grew immensely from there on. Tony's major was psychology, and says that his musical influences include Horace Gentleman of The Specials, and Norwood Fisher of Fishbone. But he says it is Prince (or the Artist Formerly Known as Prince) that is his favorite artist.
