A few of us were in a band called Pillage My Village. The Denver Post liked that band, and various webloggers have referred to them as “pretty good” or “not bad.” Olivia played bass for another band called Shame Shame (that previously was known as Hello Operator?, and before that they were called Broadcast). Cyrus just plain kicks asses and picks up chicks and rocks. Joe is a pretty mysterious fellow, even to the rest of us. We have a theory, though, that he falls from the heavens in the form of rain water onto a remote section of Yellowstone National Park and then collects into his human form, complete with the stylish clothing of the day, hours before shows and practices. He probably carves a Yellowstone tree down into a new banjo and mandolin for every performance. Of course, then he plants another tree in the first tree’s stead and weeps a single tear that develops the newly planted tree into a robust and healthy, full-sized adult pine within seconds.
