"St. Anthony is inspiringly creative, utilizing odd time signatures, quirky guitar melodies, and layers of chant-like vocals, but the first time I saw them live, I was struck by the unique rhythms that anchored many of their songs. On one particular song, three members of the bands were playing percussion.
Also, by the end of the night, most of the band ended up in their underwear."

I haven't been by in a while. Hi! I've just about gotten my album finished. I think it's going to be better than the first one! I haven't been playing out much thanks to the studio, but I have some shows and stuff coming up. Also new shirts! What have you been doing?
Hey thanksgiving, take this! A song written by my old group Bluntsworth four or five years ago.
"Gravy On My Tateys"
Crappy sound quality back then, ouch! The songwriting is still there though I think. What do you think, is it a new classic holiday song?
Finally…here is the new split cassette from Eloi and Mike M and it
is called “Cramped Living”. This release plays out like a nocturnal
AM-radio transmission drenched in honey. Side A features Eloi
sleepwalking through a hothouse jungle, full of whispers and flickering
lights.. And Side B features Mike M’s soundtrack of desert wanders in
search of fata morgana.
You all were the best local band I've ever heard. I've got my own opinion of perfect prog rock and you all are already doing it! Last night was the first time I've heard you and certainly won't be the last. Thanks for the inspiration.
we hope you'll check out our new recording on our myspace page and come to the CD release show August 15th @ 9PM at Smoke & Barrel w/ The Good Fear and Egyptr!
Since 2005…..we have played played bars, clubs, libraries, trees, cemeteries, weddings, bus stops, ferris wheels, farms, and elementary school playgrounds-from small community events in Providence to large festivals in Europe.

PREUX BREUX GEULD (Providence/tampa/International Noise Conference) http://cephiastreat.com/ http://www.squelchers.net/inc.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPbbrryqIrw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCBrUK7E78I&feature=related http://www.myspace.com/probrogold What's tougher than brass ones? Try disco. A pioneer in the insta-dance party movement that has been sweeping the east coast, Pro Bro has been cracking the keys for years and often changing the suffix of his moniker along the way. Wether there's a "Dog", "God", or "Gold" on the end you can rest assured that you're in store for hummingbird fast keyboard taps, Jook City scraps, and a lung full of fog. Liquid Gold is his first post Fas'ners release and it coincides with the expansive tour of the same name. Put in the disc, turn off the lights, and rumpshake with a smirk..make him proud.
DIAMOND HYMEN (Central Florida,International Noise Conference) http://cephiastreat.com/ http://www.squelchers.net/inc.htm , straight from the New College of Sarasota and recent controversial noise sex kitten from the world of Vice Magazine. A solo woman with two keyboards and various effects made a tone float of mind dance and off kiltered drone popsicles sold in some off mars colony it seemed.
