The year of 2005, while it may have been highly disappointing for the cigarette industry, is turning out to be a highly entertaining experience for those in the rock category. With some of the greatest bands in the world turning out their best albums yet, and other new bands sprouting all over the world, setting musical standards higher yet, there sits in the hot, dry, shitty-smelling Greeley Colorado a bright, young foursome of the musical persuasion out to make their foot prints in the manure infested streets of the fastest groaning city in the U.S. Ryan Kieth Ellison and, Lizzy Allen spent much of the year with roommate Gary Villeneuve in the upstairs of a little house on 11th avenue, betwixt numerous fraternity houses and empty keg shells, spending way too much on rent, having trouble finding an extra roomie, and putting up with a hellish neighbor, whose cats were oft scared of loud banging noises coming from the empty bedroom of the cramped, but cozy abode. Frequent visitor and friend, Crawford Philleo approached the three sometime in mid-February about perhaps starting a band, what with the imminent decline of former Denver-based rockers Manos (aka the Cult of Friendship). Pretty soon, the group was together, and remained nameless for sometime, slowly taking old compositions (primarily those of either Ryan alone, or the collective efforts of Ryan and Gary and Lizzy) and molding them into fully formed, short bursts of indie songdom with an eye to the past, and a hopeful one for new experimental frontiers. After some months of hard work, changing practice spaces (one of which included a utility storage space… that was cold… very very cold), the band has settled into a warehouse practice area, recorded their first s/t five-song EP with a young up-and-coming producer from Denver (and also former Manos drummer), Cory Brown, and are in the process of building a name for themselves in Greeley. With many new songs in the works, and shows coming out the wazoo, things are looking up for these brave souls. The story continues…
