The Story

Like poetry in motion, the band took shape. Evan, from his exploration in bass, piano, guitar, singing and writing, emerged with an album worth of material. Taking the helm as Raven Von Reaper, he began forming the crew. Ryan, an exceptional drummer, percussionist, music enthusiast, and free soaring spirit found himself with new recording equipment ready for a project. With hopes of learning the art of recording while continuing in his passion for drumming, he teamed up with his brethren, Evan, and their fates entwined. Mutual friend Alex, who played bass and guitar in various projects with Ryan, was a first choice to fill the lead guitar role. His impeccable ear, seasoned taste, and provocative touch musically are a pinnacle aspect of the soundscape and are sure to excite. Kourosh, well, no one remembers how they met Kourosh, only that it feels as though we’ve always known him. His energetic bass lines, stage presence, business mindset, charisma for life, and genuine heart made him a treasured member.

Now together we set course on the journey unending, bringing you

Our Musical Stylings

It is said that creativity is an expression of influence - our music echoes from our heroes. We play Rock n Roll with the energy and intensity of The Who, the attitude of Billy Idol, the whimsical and introspective lyrical imagination of David Bowie, Tom Petty, and other lovely dreamers, and a timeless bohemian presence of the feathery, free, and spirited.
