ZEN AND THE ART

About Me

Having formed in 2004, under the often mispronounced handle of Coinslot Muse (Coinslot Moose, Coinslot Museum, Coinstar Music, etc…) this band has finally found their niche` with "Zen and the Art" and within the musical world at large. Live shows usually entail Hayley’s piping hot renditions of jazz standards A’ Capella, instrumental breakdowns, and a buffet table of original, quirky songs. Point being: they live, and love, music.
Their new full-length album “Oregon Coast Ghost” was professionally engineered at Opal Studios in Portland, Oregon, where it picked up its city polish. For a group that refers to themselves as Indie Rockers, they didn’t skip any steps at ensuring a quality product. From lyrical composition on down to a carefully mastered disc, it is a stellar first album for a bunch of left coast beach bums..
