Life is full of mockingbirds that sing...

About Me

Previously playing the Blues [doesn't everyone?] Michael and Quinn found their own voice and composed their own songs. Playing the blues was very helpful as it taught them that music is about individual expression and doesn't have to be about convention. Afterall, think how strange [but great] slide guitar and blues harp must have sounded at first! So they are grateful to people like Robert Johnson whose songs they learnt to play and who showed them what was possible.Now they are space cadets and sing about the Apollo Mission...those strange things bus stops...mocking birds that sing and tease the ear...You can call it psychedelia,folk-rock,experimental or progressive...They call it "Something Odd." But in this looking-glass world everything is inverted so whatever you aren't you are...
