Phantasmo

Casio For The Gods

About Me


The fastest growing underground electro sensation composed of fake aliases and songs about unicorns and mysticism that's soon to be outlawed in numerous townships and apartment complexes in your neighborhood. Yes my friends, this is Phantasmo.
It was the year of our lord, 2005, and winter's cold breath was still persistent. Halfway through January, a young whippersnapper discovered the secrets of music when he found his companions feeble, little keyboard. "I shall name him Zeus," proclaimed the lad, "and I will be Roxanne." It's a play on words, you see? (refer to 'Zeus And Roxanne' in any video rental store for any extra information on the origins of the names)
At first, it was but a friendship. But this friendship grew into an inconceivable force which could only be expressed through the music which young Zeus produced out of his speaker accompanied by the heart and soul found deep within the waves of godly nectar which protruded from his silky, yet welcoming cowboy voice. With a phantom sound along with a renegade attitude, the two decided that "Phantasmo" would best suit both their sound and attitude. (most of you would think that a name like "Phantegade" or something also incorporating the second word, renegade, in it would make more sense, but it really doesn't)
And now, as the narrator, I must reveal my true identity: I am Dan "Roxanne" O'Brien and this is my musical creation known worldwide as Phantasmo. With a unique, electronic sound and lyrics that speak out about violence against unicorns and pure fantasy, we are taking the next big step in music history. And with that, i give you Phantasmo!
