About Me

ARCH formed circa 2002 in Louisville, KY. Combining members from Adaptor and Kinghorse, the band immediately set out upon a sonic quest. In April of 2005 the band underwent its only line-up change and was sidelined for exactly one week before returning to the stage. The former drummer Alex Rose now plays bass, leaving the throne to worthy newcomer Andy Cook. The sound is bigger and tighter than ever, leading the band promisingly into its newest chapter of existence. ARCH's debut release "Uroboros" has received positive and excited reviews from as far away as Holland. Meanwhile, the '86 Dodge van lovingly known only as Lucy continues to carry the band from show to show throughout middle amerika. Through the cities full of people controlled by fear, ARCH spreads the gospel. "Uroboros" is available at www.archtheband.com Videos

My Blog

sufficiently creeped out now by myspace

OK- I'm not going to be reading any more blogs. Never again. Because I'm losing faith in the human race fast enough as it is without torturing myself with other people's self-righteous ramblings. Here...
