think13 is a San Francisco based progressive rock band that blends strong thematic music with their mixed media performance troupe. They are pioneering a performance concept and inspiring a diverse range of artists through employment, creative collaboration and performance opportunities. They are subtly fostering social connectedness and spiritual awareness, at an intersection where the Underground and the Mainstream connect. Their mission is dedicated to restoring balance in both the local community and the music industry, using the stage as the canvas.think13's music and show blends ancient and modern, metaphysical and mythological, angelic and erotic, light and dark, to create “Balance”, one that is suitable for all ages to experience. In an over-processed, over-simplified world, think13 brings this awakened message of “Balance” to the soul.'Balance' is set in the realm of the 'Dream World'..... anything can happen! Through original music fused with physical theatre, choreographed performances of fire dancing, aerial acrobatics, modern dance, story-telling, mesmerizing visual projections, story-telling, instrument design (Forrest’s street drums), detailed costume and body painting, Balance constructs a carefully crafted vision that is both reflective and evocative, taking you on a trip into your Known Unknown.
they create a sanctuary for all beings seeking a unique experience.
The group has self-produced two Episodes that were recorded at The Plant Studios in Sausalito, CA. They worked with highly acclaimed drummer Prairie Prince from The Tubes,, and also Grammy- Nominated San Francisco String Quartet playing the string arrangements.... these Episode's are ones not to miss! Each episode consists of five to six songs lasting approximately 25 minutes and has a theme that is hinted at by the musical style, lyrics and artwork. They are embarking on a 13part Episodic adventure, giving them the advantage of utilizing their incredibly diverse musical backgrounds and work with many different producers and artists.
Episode One deals with “luck” in both the lucky and unlucky senses of the word. The music and art is earthy and spiritual. Episode Two is about “breaking through” and is heavier and rock-driven.. Episode One is now available on
Thoughts create your reality, therefore to 'think' is the greatest talent you have, so to think13 simply means that we are all connected, All as One and One is All we are.

Influences:
Dee 's influences............hmm, where do I begin? Madonna was the first major influence on me when I was a young one, I used to dress up as her all the time and sang "Like a Virgin" when I was about 6 in school......the Callan Sisters of Mercy (the nuns) were thrilled with that!!! The early years of my teenage life were the introduction to the music that influenced me greatly and shaped my ear forever.......THE DOORS, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, FAITH NO MORE (MIKE PATTON....MY HERO!), Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Jeff Buckley, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, the ever evolving Madonna, Soundgarden, Bijork, Korn, The Deftones, Gwen Stefani, Bob Marley, Rage Against the Machine, Bob Dylan, even Michael Jackson, And cannot forget the amazing poet Tupac and the talented Jurassic 5, ....also I studied classical piano and music for 12 years so some of the numerous Classical composers that left an imprint on my mind are Vivaldi, Chopin, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Mozart, Beethoven and also AMAZING Irish musicians like Michael McGoldrich, Sinead O Connor, Christy Moore, Thin Lizzy, U2, Therapy, The Pogues, Kerbdog... from my hometown...great moshes back in the day! and The Corrs......to name a few! Oh yeah.....Dance music.....Break beats, progresive house and hip hop in all their wonderful forms......just gimme a good DJ who loves what he's doin and Im in!
