   About The Pentacles

I don’t really know how most bands get together. It's probably through the Internet or something. That's not how we did it—we blame science. Three of us (Jeff, Colin and Chris) independently came up with the silly idea to go to Berkeley and get our PhDs in molecular biology. I don't know if you've ever done molecular biology, but it can be pretty ridiculously tedious. The only thing more tedious than doing it, however, is talking about it all of the time.

So at a departmental event, where each of us was going out of his mind at the prospect of having to say or hear one more thing about molecular biology, we started talking about music. Colin liked The Clash and the Rolling Stones. Jeff was into Buzzcocks and Supergrass, and Chris confessed that he loved Blur, Weezer and the Black Keys. Chris knew this guy,Henry, who played bass (this is before Henry realized that he was a keyboardist trapped in a bass player’s body).

Anyway, the next step was obvious and so we got together to make a lot of noise. The end result was our first song, Seaside Blitz. We knew we were onto something when my dear old yuppie neighbor lost his mind during one of our practices and threatened to beat us up. I guess we didn’t look scared enough so he got us evicted.

Not having a place to live sucked, but not playing sucked even more. So we moved across the Berkeley border to Oakland, a city where the only sound more common than overdriven rock and roll is gunshots. Moving to Oakland turned out to be a good thing because that’s where we met Jack. While Henry was suffering through his identity crisis, Jack stepped in on bass. Jack, thanks to our inspirational stories, realized that he also needed to become a scientist in order to reach his full musical potential and so he started studying physics at Berkeley. After a successful instrument-change operation Henry came back to the band and there you have it, the Pentacles were formed.

So what? Well, let me tell you. Since we formed we’ve recorded an album (available on Itunes wink, wink), carved our band name into a banana, played up and down the great state of California where we’ve made more white people dance than cocaine, utterly confused the scientific community and reinvigorated the tank top market.

Right now we’re working on our second album. This album will have a lot of variety. A little bit of everything, you know. Don’t worry it will be good.
