Formed shortly after the outbreak of the Crimean War, That was Then This is Now have been applying their (patent pending) style of sonic good vibrations to the pelvic regions of seduced audiences across New Jersey and the greater East Coast area for over a year and counting. Solidified in the bowels of northern New Jersey following the loss and addiction of a half dozen conscripts, the final line up:
Dave "not in the face!" Dotero preaches The Word*, Mario "Gorilla Monsoon" Bezares Jr. operates the bomb bay doors, Eric J (Jay not James [Boobs not Bombs]) Wooster on fire alarm, and Ryan Philippe (no relation) O'dell on western Tennessee style wash-tub bass form a Voltron-esque behemoth capable of reminding all listeners within a quarter mile radius of mom's home cookin'.
Kaleidoscopic soundscapes, many of which invoke images of minotaurs running freely alongside herds of unicorns and brontosauruses, give a new definition to the term copacetic. Drawing influence from their study of several, sometimes occult, religions including but not limited to Zoroastrianism, Rastafarianism and certain sects of paganism known to be practiced off the coast of Scotland, That was Then This is Now are considered by many to be scholars in the field of auditory emulsion, combining technical acrobatics with empathy, plush toys, and an unhealthy addiction to green vegetables.
The result; a smorgasbord of real, original music with a side of sweet samosas.

fashion, make-up, and/or seasons of the year.
