About Me

Building Bridges was conceived from the idea of maybe sonicly re-building the feelings that so many have burned to the ground, figuratively. Probably not possible, but these songs won't go away until we play them anyway. Not being dancers ourselves, it seemed important to play music that people might steadily bop their heads to....well, no choice in that one, as these songs just come from somewhere new. But seriously, we play in a band. We really love music, and want to be a creative contingency in the overall landscape. It's not really a choice. Rather something we live with. So wether you like it or not, we will still write songs, record songs, and play songs for a loooong time, but maybe not in that order........WOW.....this totally sounds pretentious as all hell. Like, totally not the intention bra'. laugh out loud faucker. p.s.
