TEMPO (US)

when we first started playing guitar we were clueless to music other than that of knowing what we thaught sounded good. with that in mind we looked at each other and vowed to play music for us. we feel that if we play for the sake of sound and enjoy playing for sound, that others will sense that passion and will be willing to grow with us. we are both self taught and as a practice tool, imagine that we are playing drums with strings. its a mind set that helps us tap into our primal instincts as listeners and orchestrators

we first started playing together 3 years ago. it had not been until recently that we really started framing our sound and developing songs. we have only begun our musical road together. as we develop, we find ourselves exploring new styles and discovering new passion. simply put, we enjoy sound. its amazing to manipulate. we already do what we do, we have a blast doin it, now its time to share and we hope that you can enjoy it as well. get down with the get down, its the only way to be........... keep a look out for some additions. we have been playing with drum and bass and just about everything thats willing to play with us. there is much more sound to be had with good times round the bend

we play as much as we can. Duggans Pub in Lincoln NE is where we call home. after playing our first open mic there over a year ago, we were embraced into a family of rich underground acoustic influences. its amazing to see the support that we have gained, especially in our own area. in addition to that, all of our recordings are done live. we have discussed with idependent producers about recording tracks/demos, but that may never happen. we listen to live music. if you cant perform live than you are no better than a pop performer...in reality there is nothing wrong with pop performers...which to me is just like the county fair lip-synch contest

there are too many influences to list them all, but i must say that the string cheese incident...billy nershi in general, the dead, steve winwood, blind melon, and the midland band have been the most influential

we have multiple guitars. we usually use electric-acoustics (alvarez/tekamine) with a marshall acoustic amplifier and a genz benz acoustic amp

we already do what we do. we feel that its time to share, and hopefully you will enjoy the show
