.........Born as human invectives and baptised in poetry, i, fanblades has now genetically drifted into a melodic post-hardcore sludgey blues band with a face and a tiding. They invent, experiment, and press on while your parents roll in the graves they're still digging, and your diety-flavor-of-choice deficates its freshly-pressed trousers. Poetry, music, thought... never the same again.

absolutely! we're going to be in your area hopefully by january. once we finish our big show here in baltimore, our focus will be more out of state stuff
Chances are good that I'll be in your neck of the woods in the fall, so I would most definitely be into experiencing the band up close and personal. My up that away (Cherry Hill) for around 3 days. It would be cool to meet my poetry pal "Captain Caveman" as well.
