About Me

The Official Announcement - "A fine line between..." coming October 15, 2008!

A fine line between...
Imagine if you will, a person who is complete self-absorbed... looking at the world around them with the eyes of someone who not only believes that everything is skewed and twisted into some shocking caricature of itself, but that it's doing this simply to confuse and confound him. Now imagine this same person converses at every possible opportunity with the image in the mirror, constantly asking him for the answers as he ingests every psychotropic substance that he can reach... and the mirror replies with answers.The band is in full gear, recording and preparing for post production on the 4 tracks to be released initially as the EP "Between the Lines" - a companion piece for "A fine line between..." that will also contain 3 or 4 cover versions of classic progressive rock material. Also playing drums on the material is special guest Nick D'Virgilio of Spock's Beard. Stay tuned for word on other guests who could be appearing on the CD.
Major musical influences include Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, Rush, King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Dream Theater, Frost*, Pallas, and more...
Some early demos are posted above - enjoy and leave comments! Please also visit the official website below for updates on work as we proceed, as well as coming vblogs from the band.
