Why X Levitation Cult? Because a band needs a name, but there is more to it than that. The band is the mind's eye of alternative rock singer/songwriter Joie Calio with the studio help of Portland based producer/guitar player Rob Daiker.

"I met Rob a few years ago when his manager recognized me at a concert and suggested we try recording together, he thought we'd be a good musical match. He's a kick-ass guitar player, and an amazing writer" says Calio. The recordings caught the ear of Baria Record's President, Eugene Bari.

"When I started writing these songs in Seattle, I wanted to do something that was a bit different from what I had done with dada, and not the same singer/songwriter thing I had done on my first solo CD. I wanted this to be a bit more rocking, sort of Weezer-ish, but still influenced by like, early Bowie."

Why call it X Levitation Cult? "A friend of mine gave me the idea after I told her about a big levitation party I was at on New Year's Eve...for real, it was weird."
