Falcon and the Snowman

About Me

Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future. You are interested in the unknown... the mysterious. The unexplainable. That is why you are here. And now, for the first time, we are bringing to you, the full story of what happened on that fateful day. We are bringing you all the evidence, based only on the secret testimony, of the miserable souls, who survived this terrifying ordeal. The incidents, the places. My friend, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty. Let us reward the innocent. My friend, can your heart stand the shocking facts of FALCON AND THE SNOWMAN?Theirs is a tale of providential providence, a sacred, secretive alliance forged in secret sacredness. In CE 2005 BOXCAR aka D. Bucci, ex-ENDURO as well as playwright, screenwright, college book larnin' guy, demoralized and debilitated by the death/dearth of heavy music, sent up an internet homing beacon what was retrieved by PRESIDENT CHARMING aka Jake Al Rich, ex-Color Guard, Apothecary Hymns, etc. plus singer of stuffy classical music, actor in the fancy games, pied piper of NYC. Together they began to build a new ark of hard rark, leading the beasts of 60s psych & garage, 70s prog & stoner rock, 80s metal & punk, and 90s noise & postpunk in two by two, then beating them all down with two-by-fours. The resultant sludge has been reconstituted on stage at venues like Southpaw, Cake Shop and Midway; alongside fellow-mariners such as Lubricated Goat, Kid Congo Powers, Cause for Applause, First Twilight Congress & S-S-S-Spectres. Their pirate epic MINDROCKER SUITE is the beloved flower of dirtheads, postgrads, and RadioDisney teengenerates alike -- the centerpiece of a catalog of jams exploring myriad subject matter (e.g. Karate, Duels, Video Games, Karate Duels, Inebriation and subsequent Hospitalization).In CE 2007, recognising that you can't prosecute a World War on a single front, President Charming deployed Boxcar to the Pacific Northwest. Far from spelling the end of their uneasy alliance, this strategic move makes it possible for Falcon and the Snowman to launch offensives on both coasts, simultaneously if necessary. Their powerful playing goes on, and you -- YOU! -- may contribute a verse."Uncommonly heavy, intense, and imaginative hard rock anthems...the latest power-duo explosion in town..." - New York Night Train
