About Me

Red Shirts met serendipitously through an ad Jack posted in the back of a local musicians rag. Armed with only two members and a digital eight track they have amassed a burgeoning catalog of multitudinous songs over the past 9 months or so. John and Jack hope to cull together more members into the landing party's ranks to launch an all out assault on live performance art. The willingness to sacrifice life and limb in defense of experimentation and weirdness at large defines these intrepid travelers. With the ongoing mission of expanding headroom and exploring unknown parts of the sonic universe, Red Shirts stoically persevere in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. ----------------NEW PHOTOS...CHECK 'EM OUT - 4/07-------------------
