Sounds Like"...for half an hour, the Bay Area duo’s dazzling post-rock put into a play a ’78 Van Halen vs. Sabbath scenario (albeit on a fraction of the scale): the talented, no-name undercard blows away the headliner with technical ecstasy. Robin Landy and Eric Kuhn simultaneously played more instruments than the limitations of four limbs usually allow. Landy crafted stuttering, bass-like guitar lines drenched in spacey atmosphere; Kuhn played everything else – tat-tat drums, synths, guitar, glockenspiel – and sometimes all at once. Unburdened by vocals, the guitar (the spitting image of Lennon’s B&W Rickenbacker) spoke volumes, periodically constructing heavy walls of sound via lose-yourself, blitzkrieg riffing." - Performer Magazine

   About Silian Rail
  I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Silian Rail is Robin (guitar) and Eric (drums, foot synth, glockenspiel). They play instrumental music which combines richly complex, open-tuning, finger picked guitar playing with aggressive, intricate drumming. Their songs are constantly shifting mazes of rich melodies and intense rhythms, equally epic, fragile and explosively dynamic. They are long lost friends who grew up together in North Carolina and parted ways at 13, only to re-meet by chance years later in California. Drawn together by the shared history of their musically rich hometown and the sheer oddball luck of the situation, they began playing music together. They immediately found it quite delightful, and they still do! They have played with great bands like From Monument to Masses, Maserati, Tartufi and Judgement Day. Sometimes they play places like Bottom of the Hill, sometimes they play at sweaty houses. Other things about them: performed original live scores four years running for the Madcat Women's International Film Festival, collaborations with visual artist Luke Judd, proud members of Thread Productions (East Bay Express' Best Music Collective of 2007), alongside Tartufi and Low Red Land......They are both interested in the weather, but Robin checks the forecast ahead of time, while Eric kind of likes to be surprised. But don't pigeon hole them....... FOR BOOKING AND OTHER INQUIRIES PLEASE CONTACT US AT: silianrailmusic@gmail.com. THANKS. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To buy the actual CD (with wonderful artwork by Klea McKenna): Send $12 via paypal.com to eric_andrew_kuhn@yahoo.com, or via the mail to: Eric Kuhn, 5244 Telegraph Ave, Oakland, CA 94609.

I really want to go to your concert tonight. I have been waiting for weeks. I am in love with your music. But I just found out that I have to be 21 and I'm only 18 and I am too much of a goody goody to own a fake ID. Help, please.
