Artist History Homedemoh, released in the summer of 1995, announced the arrival of an innovative new force on the Alternative musical landscape. With an atmospheric, evocative sound and haunting melodies combining solid pop sensibilities and intriguing progressive instincts, Clever Muse is among the most commercially and critically acclaimed ensembles to emerge from Pomona, California of the mid '90s. Originally consisting of Marc Smits (vocals, guitars), Mike Kearns (guitar, vocals), Marc Laurence (drums, vocals, guitar), Mitch Roe (keyboard, guitar, vocals) and Satch (bass), Clever Muse spawned from the burgeoning Pomona music scene in 1995. Produced by the band themselves, Homedemoh features the popular tracks "Bring Back Yesterday", "Malaguena", and "Larry of the Lounge". With the success of Homedemoh, the three remaining members of Clever Muse (Marc Smits, Mitch Roe, and Mike Kearns) ventured forth to participate in the electrifing music scene of San Francisco. Playing their short, infectiously catchy music throughout the local coffee house scene, Clever Muse amassed a loyal cult following. With a number of new songs under their belt, Clevermuse took to record a new album, "Almost Live from the 6th floor". This album was a departure from their first album with sparser, truer sonic sensablities. Few, if any overdubbs, "Almost" showed Clever Muse with their souls exposed. Equally as popular as "Homedomoh", "Almost Live from 6th Floor" featured the hot-hits "Open up Your Eyes", "You are not an American", "What Do I Know", and "Seasons Change". Clever Muse is currently in the process of recording of what promises to be their biggest commercial success.
