sorry for the last cancelled show i had a friend come from out of town and just could not make it.

BUT NEXT performance i will make it up to you all. i am setting up a show with e and e and doing a new dark metal project with josh crampton of luna is honey and tyler a good friend and an awesome guitarist!

will be fun also i am working on new songs. the songs i was working on with jonathan snipes of captain ahab is on a major hiatus we don't cross paths as much as i would like so theres a major delay there but hopefully that will pick back up and i will have a new record/vinyl to put out in the near future.

IE AND THE LOST CITIES ....

IE IS A PLACE WHERE THE RIVER RUNS TO THE LAST DRIP ... THE RIVER IS RUNNING DRY THE FISH ARE POISONED THE PLANTS ARE THIRSTY AND THEY CANT SUPPLY US WITH ANY THING EARTHLINGS NEED. THE PEOPLE WHO DWELL THERE ARE SEARCHING FOR LIFE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO GROW AND PROVIDE BUT THE SUN IS LEAVING IT IS TAKING ITS PEOPLE UP AND IT WILL BURN OUT AND DIE. AND THE EARTH WILL STOP PROVIDING . THE IE HAS ALREADY STOPPED PROVIDING ALREADY. THE NATIVES STILL SEARCH AND HOPE AND GET HIGH AND HULLUCINATE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THERE ONLY HUMANOIDS NATIVES AND FAMISHED COYOTES ARE THERE WAITING FOR THE RAIN AND ALL THEY GET IS FIRE. THE MUTANTS ROAM THE STREETS AT NIGHT BUT THEY MOSTLY DWELL IN LOS ANGELES WHERE THEY ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER THROUGH ROCK AND ROLL AND TATTERED UP USED CLOTHING. THEY ROCK GENTLY BACK AND FORTH AND THRIVE OFF OF DESTRUCTION BUT THEY ARE GENTLE THEY ARE A COMBINATION OF GIANTS AND HUMANOIDS AND THEY WERE ALL CAST OUT OF THE HOLY LIGHT FOR BEING KIND TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SUN AND BEING INSPIRED BY THEIR MUSIC THE PEOPLE FROM THE SUN CAN MAKE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC THATS HYPNOTIC BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THE UNIVERSE IS SOUND WAVES. BUT SOUND CANNOT PROVIDE TO MAKE POWER IT CAN ONLY BE HEARD AND ENJOYED AND SO MUSIC WILL NEVER BE THE CAUSE TO MAKE CHANGE AS LONG AS LIGHT IS AROUND. THE IE IS THE PLACE FOR LOST SOULS AND NATIVES IN SEARCH FOR PEACE BUT AT LAST THEY WILL SEE THAT THE BALANCE OF POWER IS NOT ON THEIR SIDE . AND THE DIVIDING UNIVERSE WILL FORSAKE THEM. I WILL SHOWER COMET ROCKS ON THEM AND ALL OF MY FRIENDS WHO WATCH ME PASS ALL DAY AND NIGHT THEY CAN USE THEM TO SHOW THE SUN AND THE SUN WILL SMILE AND TAKE YOU IN YOU ARE A GOOD SOUL AND EVEN THOUGH YOU WILL NOT GO TO THE NEXT UNIVERSE YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS ONE IS ALOT WARMER AND SAFER. EARTH IS AN EGG.
