ABOUT

Three former members (drums, bass and guitar) of an accomplished and intricate Denver-based hard rock band are looking for a great hard rock singer to complete our new group.

You don’t have to scream the loudest (you really don’t have to scream, at all), jump the highest (stage landings can be tricky) or have the most attitude (no bueno); but you do need to be truly talented, confident in your ability, able to collaborate without attitude, and willing to command the stage in your very own way. Also, a witty sense of humor is required.

You don’t play rhythm guitar? No problem, our former singer didn’t either. If you do play rhythm guitar, cool.

You don’t write lyrics? No problem, our former singer didn’t either - our guitarist has written every superlative lyric for every original song we’ve ever played (we’ve recently revived our five best songs from our last incarnation in order to give the band a jump start, and we’re writing new stuff all the time…so if you DO write lyrics, that’s good, too).

You don’t want to practice five times a week? Cool, we’re aiming to practice once a week and gig once a month…for starters.

Here’s the low down. We are three smart guys in our mid-to-late thirties with strong musical backgrounds and a driving passion to create top-level original music (though we sprinkle in a cover, here and there). We write and play kick-ass, original, intricate, driving hard rock. We are unique, and we need a fourth piece. If you believe you are that fourth piece, listen to the audio of the old performances we have posted, read the rest of our information, and contact us. Let’s make it happen.
