About Me


We are a band. We write music. We try to write good music. Sometimes we get it right. We are four. We are what we play and that changes and hopefully always will.
Check out our Sonicbids EPK here .
We just finished our first album and tour of the midwest... check out the pics here .

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/10/2006
Band Website: thesteedmusic.com
Band Members: Brandon - Your
Nate - Own
Josh - Personal
Chad - Savior

Influences: Lots of things, but mostly:
King Crimson
Volta do Mar
Pink Floyd
Tool
Mars Volta
ELP
Jethro Tull(the good songs)
Nirvana

Sounds Like: Hardcore tejano-jazz folk-hop with electro-funk R&B sensability, Metal-pop swing timing, and classical/disco arrangements on drugs in space.
Ironically, we've taken some cues from Volta do Mar but have been compared to Mars Volta. I guess that's what happens when we all listen to different styles of music. We've also been likened to Pink Floyd but much heavier. We don't know what the fuck that means.

we now have merch , all handmade, with a little love smeared on every shirt. $10 for Ts, and $8 for wifebeaters (cheaper at a show). Message us for ordering info.

Our new ep So It Goes... is on sale now for a measley $6 (plus a couple bucks for shipping).

Texas musician/producer sales tax exemption

If you're a serious musician in Texas, you've probably heard of this by now.  I'd heard of it several times and looked it up a couple times too:http://www.governor.state.tx.us/divisions/music/gui...

Shitty music: thy name is Hinder

Apparently Hinder is the band that plans to save rock and roll.  That's fuckin great cause I thought it was up to us.  After Curt died, STP let me down with No. 4, and Soundgarden broke up I...
