Artist description We just want to pursue what's good and beautiful. We usually start with the song in the old tradition, when bards wrote poems first and then sang them with a lyre. U2 does that, so did Zeppelin in a way. Joan Baez especially. We try to do all that without smoking pot. Probably the only improvement. :)

Music Style All types (Rap, Thrash, Ska, Reggae, Hard Rock, Metal, Folk, Jazzy blues ...)

Musical Influences Led Zeppelin, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Beatles, Joan Baez, Hendrix, Santana, Fresh Prince, Snoop Dog, Chopin, Saint Saens, Beastie Boys

Similar Artists Chili Peppers, Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, Leonard Cohen, Beck, Dylan, Wallflowers . . .

Artist History Bunch of high schoolers who fooled around. Went on to college. Stopped fooling around that often. One of them (ahem, myself) recently quit his job and spewed out all the song and the music.

Group Members Tobias the Court Jester -- vocals, songwriting, guitars, keyboards, piano, arranger; Anthony Moore (gone on to worthier pursuits) -- vocals, bass and electric guitars; Rene (disappeared) -- Some drumming; Ian Mangion (graduated from college!!) -- all types of guitars (maybe even the ukelele)

Instruments Standard stuff, with tambourines, flutes, ukuleles, Equadorian reed thingie.

Albums On A Peak In Darien, The Jeremiad, Chiaroscuro (forthcoming)

Press Reviews We don't merit such pretentious notice, it seems.
