About Me

We, The bALLY who?, are proud to present a conglomeration of ripples of ideas. We are proud to present a convergence of those ideas so that they build the kind of tidal wave worth riding. Striving to celebrate a holy matrimony of art forms – music, film, theatre, art, puppetry, and frolic. We are in search of nothing less than the first rung of a ladder taking us to a new summit, the first knot of a lasso helping us to reel in the moon, the stars, and all things seemingly unattainable, wildest dreams included.Wildest Dreams – both ours and yours. While we shall continue to push ourselves to arrive at an un-chartered zenith, we also humbly nominate our services with an offertory, a proposition, an invitation, if you will, you will. We invite you not only to join us, but also to direct us, to guide us along the path of YOUR wildest dreams, and we promise to accompany those visions of yours with our boldest efforts. Specifically we are for hire to assist you with artistic direction and creative invention for crawfish boils, barbecues, barmitfahs, birthday parties, romantic dinners, lifetime achievement awards ( all award ceremonies, for that matter), anniversaries, slumber parties, nature hikes, cross country road trips, athletic and academic events alike. We are willing to run marathons.We, The bALLY who ?, are indeed a powerful outcry, and we are raising our voices in Yea Saying Support of a word far too often misused AND overused. A word whose punch has lost quite a good bit of its power, due largely in part to bumper stickers, tennis shoe commercials, and a non-chalant yet constant tossing around of the word with insincerity and cheapness. As a result of all this, the word’s gusto has been replaced with gas. We, The bALLY who ?, are currently in search for this sacred word’s long lost gusto; we have high hopes of revitalizing every powerless punch. This way to Revolution, once again. Here, to Revolution once again.the bALLY who? - BEANIE

Influences: The wilderness of human tongue? A staircase of sweet bitter trembles? An articulate reflective refrain? A collage of contrasts? An expeditionary force of delicate thunder? The poignant weep of unbuttoned power chords? The mighty quake of a majestic limp? Whelming, enchanting, bicycle racing inklings from the guessers, yessers, and what-the-heckers….? The 250 watt bark for harmony and dischord….? The gnarled and melodious rapture? A rock and roll rollick? A relic? Relevant, sticky, silence? Music of the spheres?
