The first era of Psilenus began with its inception. Psilenus entered the world in the year 2002 c.e. Within the next year, the turbulent formation process would eject some members and bring in some new ones. The line-up solidified in the summer of 2003, when Greg Lang (vocals), Jay Robken (guitar), Matt Haaga (bass guitar), and Dan Balsinger (drums) met in a small house on the wrong side of the river in Lawrence, Kansas. Dan, Matt, and Jay were there to interview and audition Greg for the recently vacated lead vocalist's position. After two days of talks and jam sessions, the band was at long last complete. So ended the first era of Psilenus.For most of the next two years, Psilenus would have many ups and downs. They began writing and developing a new breed of rock music in their small basement practice space. The songs grew loud and complex, passionate and intelligent. In that small basement room, something big had begun. The sound that emerged was melodic yet driving, rhythmically intricate and lyrically enlightened, tribal and jazzy. They played shows here and there, and had many tough learning experiences regarding the finer points of stage performance. But finally, everything seemed to be getting in line. It was here that the Second era of Psilenus ended, and the Third era began.Now, Psilenus plays out around the Lawrence/KC area with a sharpened and explosive stage show (replete with wit, energetic melodies, and thundering rhythms). They are constantly writing new music, recording seasoned ideas, and building a fan base at the increasingly more frequent shows they put on. They have also made a few endeavors outside of the region, and with perserverance (and a bit of luck) should be off to different parts of the country to spread their infectious groove on a more regular basis.
