About Me

FLUID MINDS Every once in awhile, an individual artist or band of talented musicians come along and change the pace for what may be the mainstream for music at the time. Some become the forefathers of a certain style of music and become legendary; Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Bee Gee’s, Metallica and Nirvana just to name a few. Although Fluid Minds aren’t legendary…yet, they do have a style of their own that could catch fire and become the band to follow for the next several years. - Travis Jensen (musicstreetjournal.com) We've been fortunate enough to be featured on a bunch of cool things like Adult Swim and Q101.1 . But don't let that fool you into thinking FM is too kool to be rocking out in your local dive or our little basement studio. We're still just a bunch of music geeks. Grinding away doing what we love, in the city we love, crossing our fingers for a juicy break. We hope you enjoy the music! peace -j0hn
