About Me

circle examined, reconnectedinvisible matterscocaine disaster theme song Ithere's a sound that's very popular at the moment. happily, we sound nothing like it. fuck you money. fuck you derivatives. fuck you radio (commercial radio! jesus, calm down already!) and all the wrong reasons. hello music for beauty. hello music for release. hello music because we simply have to.~ ~ ~this band... this thing that makes the songs was birthed in some form or other in detroit suburbs in 1996. the group consists of two rythmic and melodic voices (one of those being the drums and the other, bass guitar) and one plain old voice. upon reconvening in seattle in 2008, after a 3 year hibernation, we are feeling like our(old)selves again--and that's a good thing! joe horniceck (w-vibe, vent) played drums on the first album, and kelly mynes (bone cave ballet, panther attack! showshane, vent, HMT) plays on the latter albums. ~ ~ ~The Art of The Mix, Seattle music blog, had this to say about one of our recent shows:"Blown away by austenitic from Seattle. Just drums and bass, but not "drums and bass." Rather, explosive drummer outta control. Singer fired up. Songs were amped, complicated, melodic, frenetic. Husker Du sticker on the bassist's amp, appropriate, as there was definitely an SST invocation, like Mike Watt and George Hurley on speed, 16th notes, 32nd notes, and overall non-stop." ~ ~ ~watch the first 2 1/2 minutes of this then rejoice, thinking... "mine is the one true religion, and everyone else in the whole world must be wrong" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AEoDg-TGf8
