Band/artist history
Van Gogh's Ear was birthed in 1985 when a bunch of college kids came together in a subterranean band room at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. The college years was our "live" stage, playing frequently on campus and at surrounding schools. Afterwards, band members would re-unite to record new material, continuing to develop and evolve musically. Our debut CD, entitled "Ono", was released in 1999, and contains original songs, both old and new.

In "Lives of Kings," are you saying "Brian Moore and Brian Moore"? And why? I am more curious about this than I can really explain.
