   About Blue Sky Theory
Blue Sky Theory has roots that stretch back to 1996. The band is by now finished with their first official release under the current band moniker (they have virtually disowned two previous albums done under another name). The album "Good Place, No Place" (2006) is a dense, complex, nervous and relentless progressive-rock concept album dominated by intricate guitars, busy drums, and plenty of keyboards. The lyrics are a carefully written post-apocalyptic novella; the lyricist/guitarist (a man) and the keyboardist (a woman) share singing responsibilities, each taking care of half the songs on this album, which tops out at 70 minutes of constant movement.

The band is currently finishing up the composition of the next batch of songs for an album tentatively named "An Atlas of Wilderness". The music abandons distorted guitars and hectic rhythms for a more measured, sparser approach that is nevertheless complex and asymmetrical. The lyrics, though not framed as a chronological narrative like "Good Place, No Place", all spring from themes of wilderness, inhospitality, savagery, and waste, with an emphasis on physical locations as opposed to people or events.

The current band line-up is G. Caliban Fournier on vocals and lyrics, Alex Highsmith on guitar, Justine Highsmith on keyboards and vocals, Tony Peña on bass, and Josh Wolf on drums.

Thank you very much! Your stuff is very unique and interesting as well...and hey, we've been considering moving to the Bay Area in the fall, so a double bill might not be out of the question!

Rock on and keep in touch.

Just excessively/obsessively mixing and remixing the demo now, should be finished this week though. I'll definitely send you one.

Yeah, for sure. I heard a good chunk of it when you had all the tracks up on whatever the hell Cali's server was (the weird ass one that insisted it was AI generated poetry...) but they where kinda rough versions, Id gladly shell out the cash for the real thing.

I don't even have the words...

Thanks for a great show, even if I was too busy shooting homeless people with my lazer gun to see all of it.

Also thank you for getting me over the bridge..I mean that literally and figuratively, with a hint of lime.

Why did I just find out about your show today? I'm having dinner/christmas with the "step-in laws".

Upon reading the wikipedia entry posted below, I couldn't help but notice that 23 is apparently "sacred to the unholy gods of the Cthulhu mythos."

I say bring it on.

Holy fucktoast! I cannot believe I'm going to be in the bay area on the 29th. Such serendipity is only to be found in epic novels, I'm sure.
