A veteran of the New York music scene, Chancius honed his live performance skills playing to crowds in the New York City subway system where he first started selling homemade demos. Fans of his music began to recognize him on the street as the subway musician with the striking vocals and memorable song lyrics. It was at this point that Chancius lent his vocals and song writing skills to the electro-rock outfit Automatic Duo. During his tenure as front man, Chancius toured towns and cities up and down the east coast.

Story behind the song
Chapter 1 - We're introduced to Bando who is neither man nor machine, but something more. He's not sure if he's ever been human and if so, tries to remember what made him human in the first place. The second, release from Brooklyn based musician Chancius, Bando is an alternative rock concept album with a sci-fi twist. Envisioned as an alternative rock opera, the album tells the story of Bando, a young man afflicted with a life-threatening disease. In an attempt to save himself, he volunteers for an untested procedure to meld his consciousness with cutting edge technology. As his story unfolds, the ramifications of blending humanity with machinery are brought to life in sound.
Lyrics
Hold - On Can you help to rewind my memory Times - Past When we used to swim in the ocean Free - Me Remember when we used to be happy Then - I Can escape from this great illusion I don't know if I can recognize Don't slip away, don't fall away from me All the times that I emphasized Don't slip away, don't fall away from me In my mind I've been digitized Don't Slip away, don't fall away from me Rescue me before I vaporize Don't slip away, don't fall away from me Re - Turn Show me all the times I was angry So - I Can understand why we got married I - See All the things that we had to carry And - Shared All the times that I thought I'd buried I don't know if I can recognize Don't slip away, don't fall away from me All the times that I emphasized Don't slip away, don't fall away from me In my mind I've been digitized Don't Slip away, don't fall away from me Rescue me before I vaporize Don't slip away, don't fall away from me Let - Go And I'll lose all sense of existence Hold - Still And I'll wind up lost in the system Tell - Me Will I have to live out the sentence Lights - Out Have I Squandered all of my wisdom I don't know if I can recognize Don't slip away, don't fall away from me All the times that I emphasized Don't slip away In my mind I've been digitized Don't Slip away, don't fall away from me Rescue me before I vaporize don't fall away
