About

Description:

We are a three piece band from Northern California. Currently without a resident vocalist/singer. We practice and record in a barn. A barn owl lives upstairs, so we have to keep the loft door open, even in the winter. When it rains real hard, our PA stops working. Which doesn't matter much, cause we don't have a singer. We just jam. Our music is heavy-ish, with an eye towards ambient, shoe gaze, and modal or drone blues.

Group Members:

Pat: Bass, Guitars, Harmonica, Percussion
Julio: Guitars, Bass, Slide Guitar, Percussion, Noises
Dave: Drums/Percussion, Keys, Noises, Recording and Engineering.
