about

Ok folks... This is an important one for me. First off, this was the debut of our new group, it was my first time in a 5 piece, and I met 2 crazy bastards by the names of Booth White & Nano. They completed this project and it was a natural progression from The Lady Esther for us. 2 local bands sort of collided and this came from the explosion. It was art-rock with lots of layers, soaring melodic vocals, keys, samples and a Moneen-esque live show that just about ruined our bodies every time we played. It was insane and I'm still incredibly proud of it. My best bro Paul from kindergarten and our buddy Julian recorded it for us so we could focus strictly on the music & performances. There was alot happening with this release so it was nice to not have to worry about the engineering or other technical crap. They knocked it out of the park for a home studio recording. We were one big crew of friends having a genuinely awesome time making the music we wanted to. We were still young, but had matured quite a bit from the TLE stuff. This struck a chord with local folks and it sort of blew up during the short 2-year lifespan of this group. We had the best times with the best people. It was electric.
