A few weeks ago we had Mickey Yeh of Mickey Yeh Photography come out and shoot some photos of a live performance.
We loved the shots and they were use to create our new one page press kit. Interested in booking the band, contact us at: |

“Hey Daddy, I want an Oompa Loompa. I want you to get me an Oompa Loompa right away. … I want an Oompa Loompa now!!” – Veruca Salt, Willy Wonka
– continue reading and that quote will make more sense.

How about, "Coffee, Kids, and Rock & Roll!"
During a recent chat with my friend, Marc, a consultant in Salt Lake City, I was excited about our show the night prior and said, "I’m a Rock Star!"
He responded with, "I thought you were a crossover star?"
Which brought up a bit of a dilemma with the issue of genre and musical classification.

I’m not much of a New Year’s resolution kind of guy but I would like to start the new year with some news and some plans. And then what I would love from passionate listeners. The first issue at hand is to introduce you more or less formally to the band.
Elliot Turret (lead guitar), Tom Galella (drums, vocals), Matt Moran (guitar, vocals),
Leif Pederson (bass, vocals), Kelly Irelan (vocals, keys)

We added Slam Shut to the set list. I wrote it a few years back and have played it off and on live. In fact, I played it with a house band in Arizona and that is what prompted me to put my band together.
A couple years ago my son hitchhiked around the US. He chronicles some of that journey and its spiritual impact here. While dropping him at a bus station I saw a young lady getting off or on a bus. Bus stops seem to be hard luck story breeding grounds so, although I only saw the young girl briefly, I started filling in back story.
