Rachel Roberts is a woman you can't get out of your head. Her smoldering, torchy croon winds serpentine around a retro-'70s blend ranging from foot-tapping folk that channels Joni Mitchell to sultry, wah-drenched rock rave-ups, shoulder-shimmying cocktail soul and bouncy, rock-tinged Americana. — Chris Parker , Scene .
One of Ohio's finest live rock bands in their prime.

Hey there! Just letting you know we're playing a show with Lowly the Tree Ghost and Boyscout this Friday. It's a free show and if you get there before 9:00 PM we'll have free beer tickets for you. XO Kurt Panoramic
Heya homeslice, we're gonna be sending a 3-song demo to small labels, and we REALLY need help deciding which of 3 of our 5 songs to send. Seriously, your input is wanted! XO Kurt
Hey guys. We also enjoyed your set. I really like 'do it right'. Every time I hear that, I think of JOhn Travolta and his all white slick threads in Saturday Night Fever. That's straight dance fever when you do that fresh disco thing. I likes.
Thanks so much for being our myspace friend, fucking cool music, was that video shot at the Art Factory? andy nice to hera other good local stuff. Hope you don't mind us whoring ourselves on your page, we're trying to get the word out about our 1 year aniversary show on Halloween, ITS GOING TO BE HUGE!!! you should come out.

THE KENT STAGE PRESENTS ^♠^ GOD'S BLACK.45 ^♠^ HALLOWEEN PARTY 1 YEAR ANIVERSARY SHOW
We are taking a break from recording, for our aniversary which is featuring other great acts such as: Skel Riffton, Catera, Snuff Film, Not This Body, and Born Empty.
Tickets are $5.00 dollars, Get them now, we WILL sell out. Just hit us up on here, leave us a comment or a message if you want a ticket. We can mail them, you can pick them up, or we even have a person that goes out once a week and drops them off. they are going fast!
Its all ages! doors open at 7:00pm they sell fairly cheap beer and wine there, but security's loose, and i'm sure their drinks aren't as cheap as stuffing a 5th of 110 vodka into your girlfiends purse, Just a heads up. I don't like our fans being discuraged to come see good music by bar prices.

Also for those of you who aren't familiar with Halloween in Kent, it is the biggest Halloween festival in Ohio drawing anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000 costumed drunks ready to reek mayham downtown till the sun comes up. So the after party will be right there waiting.
