EIGHTLEGS TO NOWHERE

About Me

Expermential artists looking for better ways to merge sound, energy and emotion. Drum, Guitar, Bass, keys, synth, crazy effect pedals and sometiems even the lap steel, boxes buttons and amps are all the tools used in the eightlegs to nowhere's guilded sounds.Bassist / vocals: Tommy Kim, Seattle, Minnesota, Montana. MollyCuddle, Sumac. Tommy is an instructor who digs on forming young minds. Tommy has been a Rock Star for many years. He has crazy alters in his house of pictures of him as an 80 Hanoi rocker heavy metal king. You can dress him up but don't take him out, you'll be sorry. think late night show backed by 800 mg of Ibuprofen in the morning. Old but not sold.Drummer: Dan Colavito, From the sweet pine hills of North Carolina. Has prescious metals in his foot and likes to drink Makers. Dan is an artist, sailor as well a pretty good handy man. It's not just about the drums; there is other avenues and ways of being creative. Dan does home improvements in his spare time as well as like to take his dog Baron on long walks. Guitarist / vocals: Originally from northern Ca. Husband and father, lover of beautiful things like my wife and 3 year old son. Past times include thinking about easy ways to living a sustainable lifestyle. Also into spending a years worth of lunch money on new / used instruments and equipment off of Craigslist. Enjoys walking on the beach and listing to the waves crash on the sand shore.Keys / vocals: Anthony Aue: From the rolling hills of Virginia. father of two. Loves Running, biking and rock shows. Programs crazy computers that speak multiple languages. He has HAL in his attic. Speaks German, Austrian and likes sausage and bacon wrapped around any edible type of food element. Anthony is young at heart and is living the dream.Dan our Drummer at the time had an operations on his leg something to due with metal pins backing out of his leg. I think he had the original operation somewhere in Mexico, maybe somewhere in the Barrios of Tijuana. Anyways, Dan pushed thru the pain to give us these amazing drum tracks you are enjoying.Afraid is a song sang by Tommy with Drums by Dan Colavito and Keys by Anthony Aue. It is a song with lots of white space, we hammered this song out after a mentally exhausting day of corporate abuse. Anthony and myself are on back-up vocals. Colavito fills in the space with some very lovely drum work. I like this cut because Tommy likes to scream, He often screams like he is being stabbed by a rusty knife, but in this song his voice is quite beautiful. The keys are soft delicate and well laid out. This song is a single mic in a room.captain pain, is another son of bitch that is a real good time. This song has been known to cause ear bleeds and extreme head injuries. The layers in this song builds like a 7 layer frosted choclate cake only to find a big brown surprise inside the middle. We don't care if you like or even play this song cause we play this song for our own pleasure.Smooth Robot is for all of you who like to do the smooth robot, and you know who you are. We decided it would be a good idea to do a song that mix's Kinski with the band YES. This is what our interpretation of the results. i hope you dig it as much as we do.Rock yard Rumble: the thought behind this was Dick Dale meets prog rock. We still need to add keys in the mix, stay tuned we will have to re-visit this for a better mix. Instrumental goodness. What do you think?? You like?? no, that's ok. we'll understand...
