Artist History Formed in 1998 at the suggestion of our first drummer James Aceves, SFH3 started without any particular decision as to what "kind" of band we would be forming. This eventually led to small doses of drone and experimentalism in the early days, and closer to odd time signature noise/art/progressive experimentalism lately. James left the band in 2001, to be followed with Byron H. Diel on drums, lending a more funky/jazzy element to our playing. His style also has increased the unpredicatble nature of our live shows.

Press Reviews "Go see this band for an ethereal, metaphysical trip. Space-age drone meets D&D. Imagine riding alone aboard a space probe with the complete works of HP Lovecraft. Definitely see these guys for their ingenuity." "really creative, should see these guys live.better than most noise pop i hear" ---comments from people who have been to see us courtesy of www.planetgig.com.
