A few years ago, Joe Krause found a tape at a thrift store.
It's an audio letter from a family in Florida to their relatives in Michigan.
Somehow it ended up at Sunshine Thrift Store in Clinton Township, Michigan.
Joe bought it for fifty cents.
Some time later, Joe ran into “Weird Al” Yankovic.
He gave Al staff paper and asked him to write a motif for a larger work.
Happy Tape, the first work for our brand new album "Greens", is based on these two elements.
The second half of our album, "The Inconceivable Excursions of Captain Spacerocket in the 24th Century",
is a narrative space opera written by Joe and Jesse Barnes.
It's based on a series of improvisations to which more fleshed-out works were added.
The story itself is a spin-off of a stage show/sitcom conceived by improviser Lou Houchin.

| In the middle of this tender piano solo, the instrument is transformed by unknown forces into a sort of were-piano, consuming the pianist, who finishes his performance from the beast's gullet. |
