Incognito Lounge
Our band is simple indie noisepop. The lyrics are usually of the poetic style known as found text, or stream-of-consciousness. We make noise, but in a fun way. More later.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We formed in the summer of 2004. At first it was Halley Pearson on drums, Emmett Green on guitar/bass/whatever, and Morgan Davis on vocals/guitar/bass. Emmett left after a bit and Halley and I continued as a duo, mostly just recording. We play as a duo as well but are always looking for others willing to help. We have an album completed that we recorded on our own in my loft. We recorded, mixed, produced, wrote, and designed the album all on our own, and sell it at our shows and around island.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, usually on Vashon Island, where we live. I like it usually, though it can be hectic at times, since I'm usually planning the show as well. We'd like to play other places, because Vashon tends to be of a certain, immobile mindset.
