we are a progressive, instrumental band from columbia, missouri. our influences like surf, metal, jazz, and classical bleed through into our music.
Why this name?
guitar = shotgun. drumsticks = katana.
Do you play live?
we love to play live in columbia... and that's about it.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
it allows people to spread their music (and to have music spread to them) without delay. It also allows for easy online purchasing of CDs and merchandise, and to keep immediate track of a bands' up-and-coming shows, albums, etc. It's a great way to get recognized, everyone who has a copy of our mp3 sends it to 2 friends, and they send it to 2 friends, and so on.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
can I wipe my bare ass with your bare hand?
