I love playing tight rock-punk-metal-jazz-space pirate music while singing and screaming. I also love makin' beats, music videos, photography, dancing, parties with an equal ratio of guys vs. dames, watching awesome local bands, a sky full of stars, traveling, pirates, new gadgets and gizmos, $4 movie night with free popcorn, people watching, learning new languages, good food, beer, wine, fine whiskeys, etc, etc, I love the city as much as I love the country, flasks, camping, rock concerts, spies and coffee.

My band AUDIOPHYLE:
I first started playing dubbed out jams and learned the secrets of space travel and time. Since then, many inter-dimensional journeys into heavy punk infused rock with kaoss pads and synths have taken place. At this moment of time, the band is a power trio that will kick ass all over the stage! Our songs are strange, yet thoughtful and on top of that, we have a revolutionary attitude from the pepper sauce running through our veins. Since 1998 there have been many members in the band, but the core has always been Tia Refait & Colin McDonnell.
"We gotta remember our roots; deep in the chaos and the void of space" as Colin likes to say. We will never surrender without a fight!!!
