Sounds Like: the very last fleeting moment of consciousness you experience after realizing that it was all just a dream.
the coloured lights formed amidst tragedy, confusion, irrational thought and conflicting interests during the summer of 2005. despite having "bad taste", "poor technical ability" and "questionable fashion sense", their mutual appreciation for nobuo uematsu overthrew the notion of "cool" being defined by "frosted tips" and "musical theory".
the band is a mission to visit as many strangers as possible and tempt them with the possibilities awakened by changing each of the house lightbulbs to a different colour. each photon reflecting, simply on a mission to tell the truth.
as we dance on stages far and wide, we remember that "the future is uncertain and the end is always near" (jim morrison, the doors) rock n roll is about souls dancing to the expression of other souls, it's about taking something broken and making it sound fixed, it's about spreading the dusty idea that "it's all about love" (brother john dinosaur)
spending hours arguing over sounds teaches you something, and then you forget it. the coloured lights will be popping their collars, reading the new testament, and taking pictures of themselves infront of the mirror with no shirt on in preparation for their upcoming shows.
almost forgot: there's only one thing for certain. The Karate Kid. Who will be our Miyagi?
