Songs

We are in the process of baking a song. It is going really well, everything is coming together like a puzzle. When the band collaborated all of our ideas on how the song should work out, we had minor troubles, but after a few practice runs, we had a platinum record in our hands. I really think this song is gonna be good. Stay tuned.

Sincerely Rockin',
Chris Caruthers (Guitar and Drums)

With the coordination relationship of Jeremiah Franzine and Eric Mayers, selective people from Arthouse got get a sample to what it is feel like in a live show. From staging up equipments and functions of wiring and mixing, everyone one of us learned more than we thought we knew.

By learning different functions of a live show, we can incorporate the skills into our own shows and future careers. The whole trip was hands on, friendly and most of all, informational.

Chris & I had too much fun on this trip, too much to explain...

DUDE

I don't know about you, but making zines is so much fun. It's almost too much fun. It's way to easy too. Just draw, right down info or thoughts and then photo copy your zine and... BAM!!! you have a zine. It is almost like magic. Anyways, as of this second I am in the middle of doing my zine [My sister is helping :)].

The song writing is also in process. I haven't got a whole band approval of the song, because I'm not done with it yet. Hopefully we will accept it and start working on it soon. The more time we have to work on perfecting the song, the better we will sound for the performance. I have showed Noah Erickson how to play some of the song on guitar. He is doing pretty well for just picking up the guitar. And Annie Ralston is learning the song on guitar too, she seems to like it a lot. The song I'm writing is called "Circle Pit Ship" It's pretty interesting in my opinion, I really hope it turns out good and gets the reaction I am going for...

Sincerely,
Chris Caruthers (Guitar and Drums)

Ahoj!

"I think it's pretty rare to have the opportunity to work with so many people that I admire in one project." ~ Yo-Yo Ma.

With steady progression towards an elaborate repertoire of songs, we are working on a band image as well. Doing all the preparatory work, we are strengthening/bonding as one united band. We're all looking forward to bring the inner melodies from our souls to your virgin ears.
