Current Line-up - Todd Bethune on nylon string classical and electric guitars. Troy Kiel on Piano and Synthesizer. Mike Gray on Synthesizer and Piano. Eric Markley on Bass Guitar and Synth Bass. Scotty Kuhn on Drumkit and Percussion......
Influences
Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Bach, John Dowland, Prince, Stevie Wonder, The Police, John Petrucci, Jaco Pastorius, and many others.
We have been in existence in one form or another for five years. Our music is a unique blend of styles ranging from free-form jazz, music of the classical period, progressive rock, funk, reggae, pop, progressive metal, and more. Listen to the music and you will know what I am saying.
We have opened up for and performed alongside such musicians/acts as Wayne Newton and The Brush Street Band.
Above all else, this band has a sound you will not soon forget. Graffittites have said it enough to know by heart; "These guys are great. Their sound takes me on a journey with every song they play."
We have many projects we are working on at a given moment. Cyber Hunt, a science fiction horror film, is one in which we are currently under production for the soundtrack music. Having already completed the teaser trailer music, the band is excited about the upcoming challenges that lie ahead for them. Stay tuned for further details........
As for the songs on our stand alone player, A Feast of Shadows is brand new, from our latest line up. Bugi Man is also from the same line up, but is a bit older. Timeless is from the CD "On The Horizon." Crazy Woodsman is from the CD "Midnight Express." Finally, Painted Thoughts is from the CD "Classic Graffitti." Since these CD's are not yet available through a distributor, we are not currently selling them here on our site. But, if you absolutely MUST have one, or all of them, contact me here and I will make every effort to get them to you. Once again, thanks for reading. Cheers!
