    Artist description
    Two guys, unlimited recording time, and more toys than they know what to do with. These songs are the results of random musings and addled Muses. Whatever we felt like doing, we did. Of course, we've only presented what we feel are the best of these songs.
    Music Style
    Instrumental/vocal folky progressive electronica?
    Musical Influences
    Rheostatics, Orealis, Rush, Mike Oldfield, the Pet Shop Boys, Kila, Stanley Clarke, Joy Division
    Similar Artists
    According to the listeners: Roy Buchanan, Pink Floyd, and many other, less famous people. It's a tough call.
    Artist History
    A result of countless jam sessions, and hours of experiments, The Band That Doesn't Exist really doesn't exist, per se. Since all of these tracks would be impossible to reproduce without having several duplicates of each member, only two or three of them have ever seen the light of day in public performance. This is the band's first project, but quite possibly not their last.
    Group Members
    Caspian Kilkelly - A seriously disturbed individual, this one man army plays bass, guitar and trumpet in these songs, as well as doing vocals, drum sequencing, and effects. He also recorded and mixed nearly the entire album. Oh yes, he also did the photography, some writing for the liner notes, digital editing, and is widely credited within the scientific community as the discoverer of insulin (not verified). Michael Ayles - Raised by free-range sheep in the Andes mountain range, Michael was severely disturbed by his abrupt reintroduction to society. Unable to read, right, or perform simple 'rithmatic, he turned to music in a last ditch effort to communicate with the outside world. Steve Vai has described his virtuosic guitar technique as "awesome", and Rolling Stone says of him that "The world has not seen such a thundering talent as [Michael] in many decades. "We are afraid." Mike plays acoustic and electric guitars, bass, tinwhistle, sings on a few songs, and occasionally impersonates the caterpillar from "A Bug's Life" -3Jim ZaiZan 3J is far too elusive to describe. He does what the band won't or can't. with the help of Caspian, he produced the C.D., engineered the recording studio, and singlehandedly brought down the Avant-Garde archetecture movement as we know it.
