Left Brain was formed in Albuquerque, New Mexico in the summer of 2005. Originally the product of collaboration between John Allen (guitar) and Steven Keator (drums 2005-2007), the story of this band is an evolution of sound, technical exploration, lineup change, and continuously maturing musical mentality.
Lineups & Discography
Untitled/Unreleased (Allen, Keator, Rogers, Clifford: 2006. Available on official web site). Capturing some of the ligher-spirited Left Brain material and early "jam band" sound, the songs "Mass" and "Making Time" received rotation on New Mexico college radio.
Bury the Facade (Allen, Keator, Rogers, Clifford: 2007). Recorded with Sid Garcia at Sight 16 Studios, Bury the Facade is an exploration of a much darker and more aggressive sound. One of the driving forces behind the creation of this album was the issue of domestic violence and other unseemly, hidden aspects of society.
Riding on the momentum from constant live performances, relentless promoting and a successful CD release show, Left Brain was voted 2nd Place for “Best Metal Band” and 3rd Place for “Best New/Emerging Band” in Alibi Magazine - Best of Albuquerque 2007.
In May of 2007 Left Brain won New Mexico Music Awards for “Best Rock-Metal” with the 8-minute song The Waste and “Best Artist’s Website”. The single Take What You Need is still on regular rotation on 104.1 The Edge's local music feature.
Left Brain has sold and distributed all copies of the original run of Bury the Facade. All songs are available for free download on www.leftbrainband.com.
Early Fall 2007, Left Brain parted ways with original drummer Steve Keator and found replacement Thomas O'Brien.
Solipsism (Allen, Clifford, O'Brien: Coming out someday). In Spring 2008, vocalist Tristin Rogers left the band. Vocal-less yet riding a wave of fresh energy, a much heavier and far more technical round of material was created and facilitated by O'Brien's aggressive and driving style of drumming. Solipsism will feature the additional electronic instrumentation of Animus Invidius.
Untitled (Allen, Clifford, Rubio: 2010). Collaboration in Fall 2009 is planned for the next wave of material, featuring drummer Giann Rubio (Aghora, other projects) and other favorite musicians and friends Left Brain has met along the way.

When I last wrote about oil on Saturday, Dec 20, 2008, I was lucky enough to precisely pick the bottom of the West Texas Intermediate. (According to DOE data, Texas light sweet crude hit its daily five year low of $30.28 the following Tuesday.) Back then, an ounce of gold would buy you 21.3 barrels of oil, over 25% more than the 25 year average of 16.8 barrels. Currently, we are at 13.5 barrels of oil per ounce, which is almost 20% less than average. Given the deflationary economic environment and newly overheated stock market, I would rather bet on oil taking a tumble than gold prices catching up. Especially because other commodity prices confirm this line of thinking.
Please let me know what you think about it in my blog: http://stockvalues.org/oil-up-gold-steady
