We're still looking for a bassist, but so far we consist of a vocalist/guitarist, a guitarist, and a drummer.
Why this name?
A Tetrachord is a combination of four scaling tones. [Greek tetrakhordon, from neuter of tetrakhordos, "four-toned" : tetra, "four" + khord, "tone"]
Coil means "disturbance, or fuzz". Why we chose it? I have no idea.
Do you play live?
Sure, but mostly locally. It's always fun, but the most fun when getting payed, or when having an extatic (drunk too, perhaps) crowd. You feel.. alive.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes PR easier, and makes it possible for even those small struggling bands to succeed without the right contacts.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes.
Band History:
I, LeoN, was born with a handicap: I was born missing two of the fingers on my left hand. Since the day of my birth, people have been rediculing the idea of me playing guitar, and that's what got me going, I think. Since everyone said I couldn't do it, I just went ahead and did. Singing has also always been fun. For fun, I applied for a practice cell in the local studio, one that has years of waiting lists. Three years later, having forgotten about the application, I find a letter saying it was mine. I immidiately, attending music collage at the time, accumulate a small crew of people, some whom stayed and some who I changed later on, to play with me here. About three months ago, a friend of my aunts best friend calls me, and introduces himself as the guy who produced Leonard Cohen, and says that he wants me to have some stash he has lying around. He brings over 6K worth of equipment, amps, mics, speakers, and tells me to call him when I think we're good enough. We have yet to call, but we probably will, in a years time or so.
Your influences?
Bands like Muse, Radiohead, Tom Waits (his half psychadelic stuff, like swordfishtrombones), Dream Theater, Mogwai, and their likes. Creative, unique, and very good at what they do.
Favorite spot?
Wherever, with my beloved Sunny (ironically, she REALLY doesn't fit that name).
Anything else...?

Erik - Lead guitars
Curtis - Drums
