Eyes to Space will rock your robot sock hop! Tone-bending blasts from frontman Jay Cartwright..s homemade keytar punctuate complex, hook-laden songs, executed with technical precision, that anachronistically
sample many genres while emulating none. The catchy rhythms of ..60s pop, the blissed-out chord progressions of grainy educational filmstrips, the bombast of post-rock guitar, and the bouncy synth melodies of old-school Nintendo.. all get distorted through the ironic lens of nerd-gone-underground. Songs about science and humanity, the dread and hope for apocalypse: never have tunes so thematically bleak been presented with such glee. This is music that..s aggressive, witty, dark and fun: dance music for the robot intelligentsia.
The band has recently put the finishing touches on a four-song EP, which they
plan to distribute as part of a national promotional campaign. While Cartwright continues his production of the new lineup..s debut album, Eyes to Space, as busy as ever, continues to play shows both locally and throughout the Southeast.

There is uneccessary suffering taking place in puppy mills.
Senate bill 460, supported by the HSUS, will help offer some standards of operation for commercial breeder businesses.
Please come to Raleigh,NC this coming Tuesday, July 21, and help lobby for the puppy mill dogs. They are voiceless. 9 am sharp. Meet at the legislature...front entrance. 16 W. Jones St.
We will be gathering for a walk to the Senators' offices... one by one, in support of the Puppy Mill bill. Your help is sorely needed. The only paid lobbyist ordinary citizens have working for them is the HSUS state director. How about lending your hand? There are 30 paid lobbyists for the opposition that have battled less than professionally to kill this bill. The opposition includes AKC, NRA and Pork Council. They are attacking HSUS. To date the plan has been to lobby for the bill quietly and one on one.
But now we need you to show up at the legislature.
Choice Merchandise is the official merchandise supplier for over 50+ national recording artists including Blind Melon, Little Feat, Sponge, Marcy Playground, Stryper, Bruce Hornsby, etc... Plus many NFL athletes and NBA stars like Raja Bell of the Charlotte Bobcats!
