Member Since6/1/2006
Band Membershaving graced a stage: c.l.mclaughlin, tom tischer, jon schubert, graham christoferson, ben devitt, jessica wilkin, anju singh, will austin, curtis woloschuk, marc morrisette, gena perala, and many have brandished a shaker, clapped hand or shimmied, but less is perhaps more... though not by definition. oh and now plus jay arner on the mixing and mellotron, and jon anderson on the mastering! hearts for all.
Influencesfebruary 1964. basically vince poncia jr., pete andreoli and phil spector. a dash of ronettes and a drizzling of darlene love cannot hurt in the slightest either. nor can a gene pitney glaze... mmm, scrumptious!
Sounds Like"If you’ve ever driven across Northern Canada you know there’s a whole lot of nothing going on between the Rockies and Hudson’s Bay. Kind of like these guys: impressive, majestic, expansive, but apart from that really nothing but lichen, rocks and Husky truckstops with Tim Ho’s booths." -only. ****************************************************************"If Malkmus and Nilsson bred, it wouldn’t be pretty but it sure would be poppy." -tooth and dagger.

What!? You saw me and didn't say hi! Booooooooooo! I was probably in my own world at the time, I work on Georgia, but a hi from you is always a welcomed hi! So next time if I look "busy" just poke me or something! haha

I bound a collection of Dutch porno mags, so that's pretty interesting. Yeah, you should get playing Nintendo, and I should get smashing keyboards. Let's figure something out. Or, you know, we could hold each other's stuff ransom forever.
