AND NOW EVERYBODY!!!! - songs to cuddle to-everybody hold hands with everybody else !!!!        -Ah Gee,   here comes, GARLAND                 ...experimental, ethereal, and postrockin.                            originally formed as a school studio project in 2003 in and around one-man band Ric k.'s cascading vocals and and sweet reminiscent songs. Rallying his multi-instrumental friends, and gradually expanding over the years to a collective.

    Seems like richie was playing and singing since, well forever, everyeastvillage coffiehouse,latenite,blacklips aftershow,backroom,barstage,rambling and playin onto the folkiemisty capecod, arthouse shore. Where else do teardrops and revolution get you...
Hollywood.

     Just here, on Sunset strip, rich was playin' guitar and serenading. One time, after a delightful latenite hilltop party, he capriously walked home. singing along the road,and wondering if there was really a future for art in the face of avaricious capitalism.

     As his song rose up over the strip, a vision strode towards him, seemingly tuned in to his wave length. Morrissey, in person. He looked at ric, wagged his tongue, and Smiled! Yeah, he smiled right at him as if he meant it!  Had he heard ric,? or was he just in the way? Ric jumped in his face, laughed and(metaphorically)kissed his cheek, and dissapeared. No doubt crying all the way home just cause Morrissey smiled at him for being in his way.

 a chance meeting on the narrow sidewalk in front ofChaletGuormet,?Perhaps,,but,Honest In'jun,it affected him deeply, like a sign .Ric sprung to action, gathering his friends ,convinced of this starcrossing.

   they rehearsed and worked on songs at the music school all summer.Mike on guitars and bass ,Chris on drums and Zeke on guitars. Slower then molasses in January. They recorded their multi-faceted songs in dynamic living rooms all over Silverlake. Richard R. and Walter N. stepped in, to mix the songs into their current state of languid passion.

      Over a time, the songs reached the ears of the bosses at Locust records, they were intrigued, and wanted more. The collective of friends assembled, and this time with the  gracious favors of Chris, promptly laid down 3 more tracks at the legendary Sunset Sound,
3 new tunes of romance and rebellion

   Hope this wistfull,bittersweet band/collective can coagulate and play their breezy celebrations near you!
