"So, there's this band called HOW AND LIGHTNING out of Seattle, and it plays killer psychedelic music that sounds like the bastard child of dark and primal Pink Floyd and an even more over-the-top Freddie Mercury (oh, and also about two acts of Madame Butterfly – that's right, it sounds like damn opera), and it could fill up an entire concert hall with its sound, which is just all sorts of bombastic and grandiose and, hell, epic, and it's playing Brooklyn Nights, which is, like, one of the most intimate venues in Spokane. Basically, stand near the door in case the place collapses."
- Jeff Echert, The Inlander (Jun 06, 2008)
"Watching How and Lightning play was like watching an intense P.T. session with a hard-ass drill instructor-only each band member is their own sergeant, urging themselves on to incredible and complicated heights, combining those individual internal drives into one culminating artistry."
- Emily Womelsduff, Hub Pages (Apr 19, 2008)
How and Lightning formed in the spring of 2005 in Seattle, Washington. Rooted in a psychedelic blend of tribal rock, How and Lightning's eclectic sound invokes an explosion of something darkly primal. Their brooding lyrics and moody melodies expose listeners to a rhythmic and artful trip through the landscape of imagination. Often likened to a reinterpreted “Grateful-Tool-Floyd-Doors” hybrid, How and Lightning’s progressive rock is consciously indebted to the legacy of the last 50 years of electric music, although their sound is clearly original, testing the boundaries of existing songwriting composition and format. Band members Paul Steiner (vocals, keyboard, rhythm guitar), Rick Lucabaugh (lead guitar), Ezra Kille (bass guitar), and Aaron Cook (drums) equip How and Lightning with a serious arsenal of experience. Thanks to a generous sense of discipline, the band has wasted little time churning out new and inventive music, constantly edging towards a richer, deeper sound which culminated this year with the release of their debut album. Numinous was recorded in the summer of 2007 at Robert Lang Studios, engineered by Jeff Gall, mixed by Brian Valentino, and mastered by Ed Brooks.
I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time a few days ago. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a video of a new tune called Run Bobby Run:
Hey, we just released two new albums, “Armageddon on the
Rise” and “The Man with No Name” and they are available for free download if

H. Jackson Brown: Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
kind regards! DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) (new cd september 2009! - buy or let die!)
