About Me

"Those who split didn't notice one of America's best bands standing in front of them." -- Village Voice
Progenitors and propagators of the most compelling ouevre in American Rock and/or Roll and/or Folk and/or Noise and/or...
Sadly under-represented in the myspace-o-sphere.
This is a tribute. A tributary. A tribunal. A tribal.
Pyschedelic-Music.net says this:
"The music? It's like a far away picture. Hard to identify. Many paths lead through the jungle of heavy guitars and sequencer feedback. Only marked by individual piano tones or the far away echo of a rising wall of noise. The songs are fragile shapes on a mighty wave of heavily rocking noise...Suddenly there's an eruption of warm golden light, an oasis in the chaos. Angles sing (Fuzz Balad). After that they enter psychedelic haven and no one can stop them anymore."
A thorough and informative Trouser Press Entry .

If they like the instrumental mýsica, aquý has a rare one especimen that it fuses the progressive rock, the sinfýnica mýsica, the blues, the jazz and the tango in a ýnica experience: a dozen of own subjects (made up of Luis Colucci, bear of the band) and original. Engraving in Buenos Aires, with very under budget and very high creativity and good pleasure. They do not lose it.
