Life is a test of patience, persistence, and passion. It is these three elements that, when converged, play a role in everything we do especially with music. There is no denying that in every band bio there are struggles and triumphs stemming from these three elements, but through it all the end results - in the creative process - are nothing less than magical. Whether if it is members in a garage band with a following of one or a group with an infinite count of loyal fans, they know that the basic foundation include these three elements.
This band that sits in front of you is no different. Each member has a unique history that embodies patience, persistence, and passion. However, the melting pot of these creative entities simmers a stew that will leave a taste in your mouth that will last forever. Good or bad is up to the palate that risks a sample. Nonetheless, each journey has its own descriptions of the three elements but the common denominator is the music. And with patience, persistence, and passion, they were able to manage through years of adversity and challenges and still collaborate on one common ground, music. Enjoy.
