   About Arizona

*ARIZONA* is the ka-tet of four close friends who like to drink mezcal and sling songs forth. The band currently wanders in Asheville, North Carolina but still calls New York City home. The music sounds like sweetly sleeping faeries nestled in the dewy grass of a magical land while dark, sharp, drooling creatures lurk nearby. Arizona is a masterless wanderer, currently unsigned by either a record label or booking agent.

Three collections of original recordings have been humbly submitted for your consumption: The Sun and The Room (2005), Welcome Back Dear Children (2006) and Fameseeker and The Mono (2007). Listen, and you can dwell for a while within the collective fever dream of four people. Arizona's artist is Deems, the best kept secret of New York City's visual art scene. This mad Russian approaches Arizona art making by listening to the albums and drawing what he hears.

Record producer Danny Kadar (My Morning Jacket, Iggy Pop, Avett Brothers) has become a dear friend, male muse, and creative co-conspirator. Eric Stephenson joins Arizona at select shows, shredding on the cello with the skill of a Sith Lord. He can melt strings straight off, becoming your new God.

Listening to Arizona's richly imaginative music will allow you to hear colors and taste thoughts, to hold moonlight in your hand, and to better know your own heart. And they're working on a new record!!! (should be done in May).
