WE NOW HAVE A SINGER, thanks to bandmix. SO, THE BAND IS COMPLETE, UNLESS WE DECIDE TO ADD ANOTHER MUSICIAN TO THE MIX.

CHECK OUT THE AUDIO SAMPLES. THEY ARE CLIPS FROM SOME EARLY PRACTICE SESSIONS, A MIX OF IMPROV AND EXPERIMENTATION WITH PLENTY OF MISTAKES THROWN IN. WE'VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE RECORDING THESE CLIPS AND NOW HAVE ENOUGH SONGS FOR A FULL CD.

We don't try to make our music fit into any category. We let our different styles and influences blend freely. Classical, funk, metal, blues, rap, alternative, you may here hints of all of our influences. We don't care as long as we like it. We strive to get our songs recorded with the plan of promoting our music on the internet. Getting signed is not necessary to have musical success, these days. In fact many big names are making their own music on their own label and doing it their way! Not to mention, they get to keep the profits!! Therefore, gigging is not our goal. We would do it for pleasure only. We have families and they come first. But, we feel our music must have a chance to be recorded and heard. And, given the right oppurtunity, we'd make music our fulltime careers.

Influences:

As a bassist, my influences vary from the Motown greats to the best metal bassists like Cliff Burton. Currently, my faves are Les Claypool, Flea, John Mayer's bassist, and Commerford from Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave.

Equipment List:

2 Home studios, one portable studio w/ CD burner, pro quality equipment and software.

Members Of Band:

Ben on guitar (electric and acoustic), and keyboard/piano. Jody on bass (4,5, and 6 string fretted and fretless, and variax for sound effects and synth bass.) Chris on drums primarily, guitar and/or bass when he's writing songs. Michael is our singer/lyricist, his influences are as varied as the rest of us.
