About Me

Cicada started in May of 2004 as just another garage band... and for the three years they've been together, they have been writing music, recording, and playing venues up and down CA. The current line up of members consists of Nick Jerrems, Jake Richard, Blake Jassenoff, and Moondog. Their cd, 'Deciphering Hieroglyphics' was released in December of 2005. The band is currently working on new material, recording, and is also playing a few shows as well. The members of Cicada all live in Thousand Oaks. Cicada is always looking for a chance to play a show, so if anyone needs a band to play a show... give a shout and message us.
