About Me

Starting in 2006 three brothers made their way one by one to Houston, TX. This was a part of the Houck family's extended exodus out of Africa to return to America. That exodus has yet to end. The Houck progeny; sons and daughters of missionary musicians, had been raised on the road in Southern Africa as well as all across the mid-western states.Somehow, David, Jacob and Abraham, found themselves in Houston, with no real plan or map. There they met Ferrick Hallaron IV. Songs started appearing, creeping out of the cracks in the walls and blowing in on hurricane winds.img src="http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd176/psydtrack/logo .png" alt=

Influences:"But might we not say Apparitions are to some extent portions, particles, from other spheres. A healthy man can have no reason for seeing them, considering that a healthy man is above all a material man; he must in consequence, in order to be well, live on or by his mundane life. But let him get ill, let his normal physical organisation get out of order, then forthwith becomes manifest the possibility of another world; and, in proportion to his increasing illness, his contact with the next world becomes nearer and nearer till death hurls him straight away into it. This argument I have held for a long time; and if you believe in another life nothing can prevent you admitting this." - Svidrigailoff from Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment used with greatest respect.
