About Me |
|
| A little more than a year ago this was a made up band. A work of fiction. The product of one guy’s imagination. You see, I made a record in what was once a living room in a small apartment. I played all the instruments, produced it, wrote most of the songs. Nobody to argue with that way.I recruited some good friends to play a live show for the release party. It was a big time. Then we had some surprises. We were invited to play Midpoint, the biggest music fest for unsigned bands in the Midwest. The band was nominated for a Cincinnati Entertainment Award and CityBeat picked it as one of best local releases of 2006.We’re a real band now. We want to put the roll back in rock and roll. We want you to dance, dance, dance. We want you to come see us. We want you to send us a love letter. We want you to be part of our adventure.
