Solset – Bandname of the Week (11/17/14)

This weeks band name is: Solset. The name for our solar system’s sun is “Sol.” So instead of sunset, I thought I was being original when I said “solset.” Turns out I was wrong and lots of people have thought of this before. C’est la vie… Enjoy that sweet image of the progression of a more...

Young Man’s Game – Bandname of the Week (11/10/14)

This weeks band name is: Young Man’s Game. I forgot how we came up with this band name, but at the ages of 28 and 26 respectively, we’re starting to feel the test of time. And music is a young man’s game. I’m fairly sure we came up with this this past week while playing more...

Enterfearance – Bandname of the Week (11/03/14)

This weeks band name is Halloween focused! This week’s name is: Enterfearance. Sometimes wordplay gets out of hand and this sounds like a musically-included haunted house. Google image search provided NO results, thus we basically broke Google. Here’s the definition from Verboticism. Which is kind of awkward. 🙂 Definition: n., A soft romantic moment which more...

After Action Report – Via Calori

On September 20, we played at the Via Calori street chalking festival for charity. Technically, we backed up our friend Jahnel by learning a few of her original songs (and we also prepared a few covers.) All in all, it was a truly magnificent day and the artists in the surrounding area should think about more...

A Random Oracle – Bandname of the Week (10/27/14)

Yeah, we like making new band names every week, but sometimes we get busy recording songs. Or tired. Or sick. This time all three. Without much adieu at all… this week’s name is: A Random Oracle. I thought this sounded pretty cool, but it’s also got a cybersecurity bent to it as well. From Wikipedia’s more...

Sequestered Together

This is our band’s first song. Ever. Man is victory is sweet. But before we get into the song, we just want to thank everyone who listened to the 10,000 versions of the song and provided constructive and deconstructive criticism. Sometimes you have to tear down a wall to build a brand new bright and more...
