It Is What It Is

About Me

myspace graphics & layoutsORG was the name of the band whenever RAQ VB played guitar (and whoever else joined in on the jam session) for sporadic performances since 1994. It started when RAQ VB joined forces with former members of Swob for a short period. Since then there have been very few performances until 2006, when a concerted effort was made to establish a proper band. The main focus has been on improvisation. Every session is recorded in some fashion, and the first 7 of these is documented on video.
