About Me

.. .. .."We are in the business of the heart and of the soul" -RON SEXSMITH
..*ALL BAND PHOTOS TAKEN BY THE DUKE
Check out the studio where we recorded
"A.R.S (L.IL.Y.)" and "FRIDAY NIGHT KNIFE FIGHT" CASA DE LOPEZ STUDIOS
"marching through the marshes of garbage in garages, filled with car parts and carpets, hollow computer cartridges, longneck bottles on armrests, laundry starches and cotton, lawnmowers with cobwebs and rotten milk cartons, broken old baby toys, lost and unwanted, cigarette boxes, long gone and forgotten, off into the darkness...but theres something now sparkling, like rocket jets sparking, a back and forth motion like rocking chairs rocking, or some sort of magic, causing goosebumps and static, to echo from bedrooms, through the hallways and attic, connected through the cables we could feel our skin tingling in the air now lingering, through six strings of fingering, cymbals and bells ringing, in unison through speakers while singing, pretty little melodies, like psychic telepathy mimicing movements through memory, a singular form of emotional therapy for the masses to appreciate and connect with in symmetry like poetic metaphors and similies. While our sources of inspiration come from unknown locations, sometimes our record collection, or teleported jukeboxes playing, or daydream radiostations, sending us signals from outerspace ship bases that come swimming into our heads like oceans. But we can't stop it from coming, mostly crashing and rumbling, sometimes sweetly and humming, overflowing into our emotions, until we channel, develop, and release them through drive and devotion, into these songs of ours. The people we've written about have since come and gone. some we have loved while others come back to haunt. But through all thats been and done the three of us remain, humble and calm, gentlemanly innocent, goodwilled and strong" -DIO
Music is to us what spinach is to Popeye.
We are far*out, Who are you?
