Assembled in the year 1993 by guitarist/vocalist Ron Kuba, the band briefly operated under the name Grace Mansion. This atmospheric quartet, some have said a stateside Slowdive, was rounded out by brother Mike Kuba - drums/keyboards, David Carpenter - keyboards/drums, and original bassist Kip. Both the name Grace Mansion and bassist Kip left after brief tenures, and before too long, Jay Bouchard answered a ‘bass player wanted’ advertisement for the more imaginatively titled Blueshift Signal.
This lineup released Seven Natural Scenes (ethereal), the autumn of 1994, and minus Mike Kuba, placed the track ‘Halo’ on the DC based Bedazzled label compilation ‘Woke Up Smiling’, released the summer of 1995.
Personnel dwindled further with the departure of David Carpenter, the hazy afterglow of which left Ron and Jay to carry on with the name, and moreover the music that might next appear. Blueshift Signal, as a duo, finished the recording sessions for the as yet to be released ep Surround.
thanx 4 the add,,,u rock,,,,,,im celebrating 2nite ive been dating the same woman for a year,,,everyone is happy for me,,,well not every one,,my husband is pissed...haha
Love the music...wish I was around during my younger years to hear it...
And of course I have heard of Mojave 3. I'm not insane you know. I much prefer their earlier stuff though. I find that their last couple of albums have been a bit iffy...
Hello...Thank you very much..I know the band comments can be pretty cheesy, but we had to say Hi to all our new friends...since you and others gave us a chance...and we care very much about people giving us their time...thanks again
Cool. Same here if you're looking for keys. Keep up the great work! And write some more books too, eh? I still think the last one could be a bestseller.
listening to all this stuff brings back such positive wonderful memories of my days living in Rhode Island. Such beautiful positive music. Hope you are all doing well, and cant wait to heat Surround!!

I've been in the studio for about 5 months now working on this album and after my trip to Jamaica I've had a bit of enlightenment; reworking a few ideas. But its nearly finish and I hope that you enjoy. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
