About Me

We're not even entirely sure how we got together. It basically started with guitarist Tyler Snodgrass and bassist Kyran Willard covering Cream and BOC songs for fun. A few years later songs started being written and Nick Bell (drums) and Jon Atkinson (keys) were added to the line-up. Musically, we all come from different backgrounds and we try to all bring something different to our songs. Our biggest common denominator is that we want our music to be fun. We play whatever we feel like, and our purpose is to have a good time, be truly entertaining, and make every show different and spontaneous. We don't take ourselves too seriously. If we had to classify ourselves I guess we play a punky and poppy variety of progressive rock songs that are suitable for everyone from children to former pirates. We do everything from metal at rock venues to intimate worship sets at churches to goofy improvised songs at coffee shops. Come to a live show and say hi to us. We like people that do that.
These are the albums we have made available:
"DEMONSTRATION RECORDING"
1. Screening (original cut)
2. The Unfortunate Life Cycle of Snow
3. My Lawn Is Emo
4. The Time (Live)
"THE EMERGENCY PONCHO EXTENDED PLAY"
1. Screening
2. Lions Road
3. Mr. King
4. I Used To Be A Pirate, But Now I'm A Privateer
5. Denver
Mr King Live

You may (or may not) have noticed that from March through now (and a good portion of February) we weren't doing any shows. The reason for this is because we were without a drum set, among other things...
