Phantom Limb Syndrome

Is Awaiting Our Drummer!!! xoxo

About Me

PLS is currently booking bands and venues for our summer east coast tour, buying new equipment, rewriting several songs, planning a recording session for March, adding live bass to most songs, working with a live drummer in preparation for BMC's lamented departure from the stage, and working on our second album.
TVO is working 50 hours a week and BMC is working and taking classes. We MIGHT be talked into booking something...if you need us, always know we're here--especially our siblings bands (you know who you are!!) We do have 3 or 4 new songs we haven't played for an audience (or each other). We'll be at your shows and around!!
Thankyou to everyone who continues to support us and all local artists.
-BMC + TVO
We are an highly experimental, pseudo-improvisational, minimalist duo without time to practice. We meet onstage with our concepts and ideas about the shape of the sounds. We would love to have some horns, a xylophonist, flautist, or accordianist. We strongly believe a few instruments can produce astronomical sound. Originally, we were to be instrumental, but our aesthetic path didn't lead there. On Easter, The Vivian Oblivion drove around and wrote some lyrics to some sounds by Break Master Cylinder, causing Edie Sedgwick to jump out the passenger side window of a moving SUV. Whoa.

Uno momento

We are acutely aware that we have no tracks posted on this page. However, if you will wait a maddening month and a half, we hope to record in mid-March. Not that we need an explanation, but between us...
