Sounds Like
Think early Built to Spill meets Television, but with a vocal presence reminiscent of The Band. Soaring, veering melodies; juicy, three-part harmonies; pulsing, plodding, explosive beats; jagged, angular guitar; refreshingly inventive song craft. Oh yes, and a positively, absolutely, destructive live-show.
The Veltexan's debut album, "Everything's the Matter," was released in 2007. Tight, punchy rhythms, searing guitars and soaring melodies are neatly packaged into 3-minute, no-frills, angular rock songs. The approach is very minimalist and the songs are heavy, hook-laden tales of human fumbling to find a way.

The author was inspired by observing butterflies to develop a system of Tai Chi that could be performed in a limited space and within a relatively short time. He designed Tai Chi movements that naturally enhance the Qi flow in the order directed by Chinese medicine and whilst it can be used to treat a wide variety of illnesses, its real power is in preventing illness. Succinct and effective the reader can learn this form of Tai Chi within a day and can be performed anywhere -no matter how little space available.
