Our most important goal right now is to get a drummer... This drummer would be best if he or she could work other instruments as well (keys, other percussion, and even guitar skills are all fantastic, but not required). Our earlier music is more straight-forward rock, but as we continue to mature emotionally and musically, we've taken some pretty interesting, experimental turns.

Influences:

Radiohead, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, The Flaming Lips (old and new), Silversun Pickups, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Green Day, Our Lady Peace (Clumsy), The Black Keyes, Alice in Chains, Jerry Cantrell, Sublime (Sublime), Pink Floyd (post Syd), Weezer (Pinkerton), Zep, STP, The Doors, Pixies, Filter, The Cranberries, Staind, The Srokes, The Hives, Whatever band sings "The Mormon Rap," Daft Punk, Prodigy, Smashing Pumpkins, Moby, Foo Fighters, Melvins, Coldplay, MGMT, John Lennon, Beatles (the later years), Danny Elfman, Marilyn Manson, Beck, Elliot Smith, Muse, Air, Travis, and others (these are mostly my [luke] influences, since I'm the one putting this together. Joe's influences are much more obscure. Mario does what I tell him to.

Equipment List:

Korg M3 keys, some guitars, some basses, some amps, some speakers, some microphones, a vox pedal box, some pedals... Really, I'm the singer, and I have no idea about stuff like this. I'm cool like that.
