About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Complistication - n. 1) The over-complication of an issue or problem achieved by means of sophisticated complexities. ............................................................ ....................................................... Why ask why? because if you don't you are as much a conspirator as a victim. It is not enough to just blissfully go through life as if its not you're problem, that it's not me it's them. It is your problem, it's all of our problem. We must become better citizens, not just of our great country but of the global community as well. In the stunning new album Complistication by The Whys the band and the music challenge you to listen, learn, and experience more than you might be comfortable with. The music is quick, edgy, and at times disturbing. The listener is forced to not just hear but listen closely to the music, as it changes tone, key, and rhythm in unexpected and increasingly provocative directions. From its title to the choice of songs Complistication is fresh, energetic, and wildly entertaining.So Be Whys -because knowledge is not the same as wisdom...
