2008 Press Release:
ROCK MUSIC OR EXPERIMENTAL WEAPONRY?
by Jason Ross Martin
"These are songs of dissent--political and otherwise," says Andy Palast, the lyricist and front man of the new Asheville 5-piece rock band Darpa—which shares its name with a government agency that makes spy satellites and rocket engines, among other more insidious functions. Having grown together as a result of in studio collaborations in the increasingly fertile Asheville music scene during 2007, Darpa made its live debut in March of 2008. "They stole the name from me," Palast deadpans, when asked about the link between names. "I just threw some letters together and made a word. The government built a time machine, and went back and stole it." Darpa's songs find Palast and his four bandmates Joseph Wagner (guitar), Kevin Freeman (cello), Greg Terhune (bass), and Steven Jahson Finch (drums) in strikingly more serious tone. Their fascinating songwriting is at once political and romantic. The band draws upon its vast experience within other genres ranging from rock to classical and folk to fusion. With songs that are inspiring and revolutionary, but with an introspective vulnerability as well, Darpa are currently working towards recording their debut album and developing a unique live show.

We are thrilled to announce Midnite will be playing their only two east-coast shows in the month of April at The Grey Eagle in Asheville, NC. Arguably the best live reggae band around, Midnite has sold out every show they've played in Asheville since 2005. We strongly encourage you to pick up your tickets in advance so you can be a part of the festivities.


Click the below poster for additional information about Midnite's back-to-back nights at The Grey Eagle.


Peace & Blessings!

„The moving memorials of the presence
howl their torments into the night.

Roaring dawn on the cliffs
The waking conscousness
Cuts up the flesh.
The attachement comes to an end.
The attachement comes to an end.

You stay here forever!
You stay here forever!”


Thanks for the friendship.

We wish you lot's of positive energies!

The creators of the organic music
send you many greet​ings from the land of Anaha​ta.

Gouranga!
