About Me

Now, the story goes that 2 decades ago a great storm happened. It rattled all the land and sea and sky. In the land of Qwurk, from the sky drifted down a boy. A family took him in and raised him inside a piano. ***Chris*** In the neighboring hills of Zachary out of the rain came another boy who walked right past the great land lumps effortlessly and into Chris' head. ***Matt***Now at around that same time on just the other side of Qwurk, out of the muddy ground crawled another boy, and he met with his comrades in Neverland, dancing under blankets. ***Dave***And lastly, The Neverending Andy Smith, who wont age, ever, and he doesnt feel emotion. He's always there, sitting, standing, crawling, walking up and saying hey. ***Andy***At 20 there was another horrendous storm, 37 days passed and when it finally ended and the 4 boys were all that had survived. With nothing left but their instruments and eachother, they took off in a sailboat. To the sea they went. Andy, down in the engine room, for keeping the motor'a'going with his hands and feet, a hard job for such a little man. Matt, his place up in the crow's nest watching for ice burgs and coming storms. Dave, on the deck pulling ropes and raising sails when the wind was up. Chris, steering the sailboat, plotting the courses and staying away from nasty pirates. Together they travel around looking for seaside villages that they might bring some light to. We hope you enjoy the tracks that we've put up here for you to stream. You can also visit our new website (www.pocketsfullofposa.com) and stream each EP in its entirety. Much Love, Mariposa.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/27/2006
Band Website: pocketsfullofposa.com
Band Members: Chris Lyons, Matt Mitchell, Dave Connolly, Andrew Smith
Influences: Cups of tea on the veranda, watching the downward sun fall into the hillside of trees, that was once so cheery in the day, leaving everything burnt to a black crisp. Find your way back through the front door while the night lies in its sober slumber and wash your teacup so you can get up and do it all over again when the fire-vixen rears its playful head.
Sounds Like: Your inner child swaying back and forth on the teeter-totter of the mind's eye - constantly being swayed by reservation and desire, by andventure and calm, by inspiration and complacency. A picnic in the most flowery field, encircled by a dark and lonely forest with treasures a-lurking in between the branches............. Really...................................................... ... If you don't believe me, head out to *SONIC BOOM!* or *SOUNDSCAPES* or *CRIMINAL RECORDS* or *SHE SAID BOOM!* or *SAM THE RECORD MAN* or *ROTATE THIS!* and buy our records. Or, if you're feeling that extra spark, come see us play.
Record Label: Unsigned
Type of Label: None
